Bible Person

Hur

Meaning: liberty; whiteness; hole · Male · 1 cross reference

This Hur entry refers to the father of Rephaiah in Nehemiah 3, not to the ancestor behind Solomon's district officer in 1 Kings 4. He belongs to the family background of local leadership involved in Jerusalem's restoration. First appears in Neh 3:9.1

AI summary: This Hur matters because his single cross reference survives through his son's role in repairing part of Jerusalem's wall as a district ruler. The entry helps show that restoration drew in both households and local officials. Taken together, the material presents this Hur as a familial source in the rebuilding of Jerusalem.1
