Zerah
Who he was
Zerah was a Levite who belonged to the clan of Gershon. He was the son of Iddo and is mentioned in the genealogies of the Levites in 1Chronicles 6. These genealogies trace the lineage of the Levitical families, who were responsible for the religious duties in the temple. As a Gershonite, Zerah would have been part of the Levitical family that was tasked with the care of the tabernacle and its furnishings during the wilderness wanderings.
