Ephlal

Male · 1 cross reference

Ephlal is a Judahite ancestor in 1 Chronicles 2 and the father of Obed. He belongs to the genealogical chain through which one branch of Judah's line is preserved. First appears in 1 Chr 2:37.1

AI summary: Ephlal matters because his single cross reference helps carry Judah's family record forward through a remembered father-son link. Even a short paternal notice contributes to the continuity of the tribal memory. Taken together, the material presents Ephlal as a genealogical figure within Judah's preserved lineage.1
