Verse 4

And Penuel the father of Gedor ,.... The prince of that place, according to some, and the same with Hareph, 1 Chronicles 2:51 ,

and Ezer the father of Hushah : thought to be the same with Shuah, 1 Chronicles 4:11 ,

these are the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah : Caleb's wife, 1 Chronicles 2:19 the Targum adds, the same with Miriam; and so other Jewish writers F24 Shemot Rabba, sect. 1. fol. 90. 4. Yalkut in 1 Chron. ii. 19. say, Miriam had two names, and one was Ephratah; though Josephus makes F25 Antiqu. l. 3. c. 2. Hur to be her husband, and not her son, as here:

who was the father of Bethlehem ; of the inhabitants of that city, at least part of them, or prince of that place, as his grandson Salma also was, 1 Chronicles 2:51 .
