PEREZ, PEREZITE

Son of Judah whose name is derived from a Hebrew word meaning “he who bursts forth”; his name refers to the manner in which he unexpectedly came first from Tamar’s womb before his twin brother, Zerah (Gn 38:29). He fathered two sons, Hezron and Hamul, and became the ancestral head of the Perezite family (Gn 46:12; Nm 26:20-21; 1 Chr 2:4-5; 4:1). The KJB and the Apocrypha translate the name variously as Pharez, Phares, and Pharzite.

Through the descent of his son Hezron, he became the ancestor of David and Jesus Christ (Ru 4:18-22; Mt 1:3; Lk 3:33).

A descendant named Jashobeam commanded David’s captains for the first month of each year (1 Chr 27:2-3).
