1. The third son of Reuben (Gen_46:9; Exo_6:14; 1Ch_4:1; 1Ch_5:3). His descendants were called HEZRONITES (Chetsroni', çֶöְøֹðַé , Sept. Á᾿óñùíß , Num_26:6; Num_26:21). B.C. 1874.
2. The oldest of the two sons of Pharez and grandson of Judah (Gen_46:12; Rth_4:18-19; 1Ch_2:5; 1Ch_2:9; 1Ch_2:18; 1Ch_2:21; 1Ch_2:24-25); called ESROM ( Å᾿óñώì ) in Mat_1:3. B.C. 1856. 3. A place on the southern boundary of Judah, west of Kadesh-Barnea, and between that and Adar (Jos_15:3); otherwise called HAZOR (Jos_15:25). The punctuation and enumeration, however, require us to connect the associated names thus: Kerioth-hezron = Hazoranam. SEE HAZOR.
