A son of Caleb (Judah's great-grandson through elzron), the first one by his second wife Ephrath, and grandfather of Bezaleel (q.v.), the famous artificer, through [[Uri]] (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:19; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:50; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 4:1; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 4:4; comp. 2:20; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 1:5; &nbsp;Exodus 31:2; &nbsp;Exodus 35:30; &nbsp;Exodus 38:22).

The husband of Miriam, the sister of Moses, according to Josephus (Ant. 3:2, 4). During the conflict with the [[Amalekites]] he assisted Aaron in sustaining the arms of Moses in that praying attitude upon which the success of the Israelites was found to depend (&nbsp;Exodus 17:10-12); and when Moses was absent on [[Sinai]] to receive the law, he associated [[Hur]] with Aaron in charge of the people (&nbsp;Exodus 24:14).

After the defeat of Sihon these chieftains appear to have made common cause with Balak, the king of Moab (&nbsp;Numbers 22:4; &nbsp;Numbers 22:7), and to have joined with him in urging Balaam to curse the Israelites. The evil counsel of Balaam having been followed, and the. Israelites in consequence seduced into transgression (&nbsp;Numbers 31:16), Moses was directed to make war upon the Midianites.
