Rashi · 1040–1105
1Chr 4:18 · Douay-Rheims
“And his wife Judaia, bore Jared the father of Gedor, and Heber the father of Socho, and Icuthiel the father of Zanoe. And these are the sons of Bethia the daughter of Pharao, whom Mered took to wife.”
On this verse:
“And his wife the Judahitess Caleb’s wife, who was born of Judah. Jered, the father of Gedor, etc. the leaders of the cities, as it is written in Josh. (15:56): “and Jokdeam and Zanoah...,” (v. 58): “Halhul, Beth Zur, and Gedor,” (v. 36): “Jarmuth and Adullam, Soco and Azekah.” And these are the sons of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh The “vav” separates between the sons of the Judahitess and the sons of Bithiah. whom Mered married Caleb is Mered, who rebelled (שֶׁמָרַד) against the counsel of the spies, and so is the manner of the genealogy, that even for one, he says, “the sons of,” like (verse 15): “and the sons of Elah: Uknaz.””
