Son of Perez and grandson of Judah, a key link in the genealogical chain leading to King David. Hezron was among those who went down to Egypt with Jacob’s family during the famine. His descendants became one of the leading clans of Judah, and through his son Ram the royal messianic line continued toward Jesse, David, and Jesus.
Now these are the generations of Perez:Ruth 4:18 · Berean Standard Bible
To Egypt
Jacob takes the whole family to Egypt. A temporary stay that will last four hundred years.
Now these are the generations of Perez:
Sandals exchanged at the gate, a name preserved, and a baby in Naomi's arms. Ruth the Moabite enters the lineage of King David — and of Jesus.
Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram.
The New Testament opens with a genealogy — and every name carries a story. Two great promises converge in one person. This is where it all comes together.
Hezron is generation 25 of the 64 Scripture traces from Adam to Jesus, following Jacob → Judah → Perez, and followed by Ram → Amminadab → Nahshon. See the whole line.
