Commentary

And Penuel the father of Gedor,.... The prince of that place, according to some, and the same with Hareph, Ch1 2:51 , and Ezer the father of H ushah: thought to be the same with Shuah, Ch1 4:11 , these are the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah: Caleb's wife, Ch1 2:19 the Targum adds, the same with Miriam; and so other Jewish writers (x) say, Miriam had two names, and one was Ephratah; though Josephus makes (y) Hur to be her husband, and not her son, as here: who was the father of Bethlehem; of the inhabitants of that city, at least part of them, or prince of that place, as his grandson Salma also was, Ch1 2:51 . (x) Shemot Rabba, sect. 1. fol. 90. 4. Yalkut in 1 Chron. ii. 19. (y) Antiqu. l. 3. c. 2.
