Who he was

Epher is mentioned briefly in the genealogy of Judah as one of the sons of Ezrah (1 Chronicles 4:17). The genealogy lists several descendants of Judah, including Ezrah and his sons. Epher is named alongside his brothers, but no further details are provided about his life, his role within the family, or any descendants he may have had. The inclusion of Epher in the genealogy serves to provide a comprehensive record of Judah's lineage and to highlight the various branches of his family tree. The mention of Ezrah and his sons, including Epher, demonstrates the importance of documenting even the minor figures within the genealogies, as they contribute to the overall understanding of the family structure and the relationships between individuals within the tribe of Judah.
