If the Reader be desirous to attend to the history of some of the persons here registered, he will find an account of them elsewhere in the Bible. But many of them are only mentioned in this record, and that only with a view to preserve the genealogy of their family. Bezaleel is honourably spoken of, Exodus 31:2. Hezron was one of the threescore and ten souls of Jacob's household that went down into Egypt. Genesis 46:10. Jair we have an account of; Numbers 32:41. But, it should seem, that the great object here intended from their enumeration is, as the Book of Chronicles implies, to preserve the register of their families.
