Chelub

Meaning: a basket · Male · 1 cross reference

This Chelub entry refers to a Judahite family figure in 1 Chronicles 4 and the father of Mehir, not to the agricultural overseer of the same name in 1 Chronicles 27. He belongs to the smaller clan material of Judah's genealogies. First appears in 1 Chr 4:11.1

AI summary: This Chelub matters because his single cross reference preserves one branch of Judah's family memory through a named father-son link. Even a brief genealogical note contributes to the fine-grained continuity of the tribal record. Taken together, the material presents this Chelub as a family figure within Judah's preserved lineage.1
