He was also the man appointed by Moses, as ordered by God, to be Prince over the tribe of Judah. He was the son of Perez, the son of Judah, and one of the 70 souls to migrate to Egypt with Jacob (Genesis 46:12). His family are further detailed in 1 Chronicles 2, which records he had five sons by more than one woman. By a mother whose name is not mentioned, he had Jerahmeel, Ram, and Caleb (2:9). By Abijah, daughter of Makir, whom he married when aged 60 years, he had Segub (2:21) and Ashhur. Ashhur was born posthumously following Hezron's death. (2:24)
