1 Chronicles 2:20Hur became the father of Uri, and Uri became the father of Bezalel.
The setting
Post-exilic Jerusalem, ~450 BC. The chronicler traces lineage to Bezalel, the divinely gifted craftsman who built the tabernacle 900 years earlier. Modern Israel/Palestine.
The emotion here: reverent amazement at God's generational planning
The original word
holid (הוֹלִיד) — to beget, emphasizing the passing of divine potential through generations
Why it matters
Bezalel was only 13 years old when God filled him with supernatural skill to craft the tabernacle
