1 Chronicles 6:4Eleazar became the father of Phinehas, Phinehas became the father of Abishua,
The setting
Post-exile Jerusalem, Israel ~400 BC. Scribes carefully document each generation of priests to establish legitimacy for temple service...
The emotion here: meticulous care in preserving sacred succession
The original word
hôlîd (הוֹלִיד) — begot, brought forth, but implies successful transfer of calling
Why it matters
Phinehas was the grandson who stopped a plague by killing an Israelite man and his Midianite lover
Read with care
What most readers miss in 1 Chronicles 6:4
