SCRIPTURE

"And Hur begat Uri, and Uri begat Bezalel." — 1 Chronicles 2:20 (ASV)

Hur begat Uri ... Bezaleel. —See Exodus 31:2, which states that: “Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,” was divinely qualified for building the Tent of Meeting. Bezaleel is no doubt a person, but Hur is probably a Calebite clan, established at “Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem” (Genesis 35:19).
