The Key Word — הוֹלִ֣יד, ho.Lidgenerated
The verb יָלַד (yalad) means to bear or beget. It indicates the act of giving birth or producing offspring. In this verse, it specifically refers to Hezron fathering Ram, and Ram fathering Amminadab.
The parsing shows that this verb is in the Hiphil stem, which often indicates a causative action. Thus, it emphasizes the role of Hezron and Ram in the lineage, marking their importance in the family tree.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verbs govern the two main clauses in the verse: הוֹלִ֣יד (he fathered) appears twice, once for each subject. The structure is straightforward, with each clause presenting a father-son relationship.
The word order emphasizes the lineage, with the subjects clearly identified as Hezron and Ram, followed by their respective actions of fathering.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates הוֹלִ֣יד as ἐγέννησεν (he begot), which conveys the same meaning of fathering. This choice maintains the focus on lineage and ancestry.
The Greek translation reflects the same genealogical structure, underscoring the importance of these figures in both the Hebrew and Greek traditions.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint largely agree on the wording of this verse, with five of the eight words matched. The Septuagint's word order differs, but it retains the core genealogy presented in the Hebrew.

5 of the 8 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript.

a-min'-a-dab (`amminadhabh = "my people (or my kinsman) is generous or noble"): Three persons bearing this name are mentioned in the Old Testament.
(1) In Ru 4:19,20 and 1Ch 2:10 Amminadab is referred to as one of David's ancestors. He was the great- grandson of Perez, a son of Judah (Ge 38:29; 46:12) and the great-grandfather of Boaz, who again was the great- grandfather of David. Aaron's wife, Elisheba, was a daughter of Amminadab (Ex 6:23), while one of the sons, namely, Nahshon, occupied an important position in the Judah-clan (Nu 1:7; 2:3; 7:12; 10:14).
Amminadab
Kindred of the prince. (1.) The father of Nahshon, who was chief of the tribe of Judah (Num. 1:7; 2:3; 7:12, 17; 10:14). His daughter Elisheba was married to Aaron (Ex. 6:23).
(2.) A son of Kohath, the second son of Levi (1 Chr. 6:22), called also Izhar (2, 18).
(3.) Chief of the 112 descendants of Uzziel the Levite (1 Chr. 15:10, 11).
(one of the prince’s people). Son of Ram or Aram, and father of Nahshon, or NAASSON (as it is written) (Matthew 1:4; Luke 3:32); (Numbers 1:7; 2:3; Ruth 4:19,20; 1 Chronicles 2:10) One of the ancestors of Jesus Christ. The chief of the 112 sons of Uzziel, a Junior Levitical house of the family of the Kohathites. (Exodus 6:23; 1 Chronicles 15:10,11) In (1 Chronicles 6:22) Izhar, the son of Kohath, is called AMMINADIB; probably a clerical error.
1. A son of Aram, of the tribe of Judah, and father of Naashon. He was one of the ancestors of Christ; and his daughter Elisheba was the wife of Aaron, Ex 6:23 Ru 4:20 Mt 1:4. "The Chariots of Amminadib," So 6:12, were very light and swift, in allusion perhaps to some noted charioteer of that day.
2. A son of Kohath, 1Ch 6:33.
