Names with a Story

Commentators explain that the names of Naarah's sons are not just random labels but likely refer to specific places and groups within Judah. For example, 'Hepher' was a district in southern Judah, 'Temeni' means 'Southerners,' and 'Haahashtari' may mean 'muleteers.' This detail shows how these genealogies are rooted in real history, geography, and even occupations.
