Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,

These are the generations of Pharez - i:e., his descendants. This appendix shows that the special object contemplated by the inspired author of this little book was to preserve the memory of an interesting domestic episode, and to trace the genealogy of David. There was an interval of 380 years between Salmon and David. It is evident that whole generations are omitted; only the leading personages are named, and grandfathers are said, in Scripture language, to beget their grandchildren, without specifying the intermediate links.
