Genealogy
Birth
Pharez and Zerah were conceived in the springtime of 2282 AM and born in the wintertime of 2283 AM. As his brother thrust his arm out, the midwife attending Tamar tied a bright red cord around it. Nevertheless Pharez was born first, and the midwife said, "How did you break out first?" This is how Pharez got his name, which means "a breach" or "breaking out." Zerah was born next, and his name means "bright red." (Genesis 38:27-30 )
Egypt
Pharez married very early, and certainly no later than the springtime of Abib 2297 AMApril 1706 BC
Iyar 2054 He
Abib 2297 AM. Nine months later (Teveth 2298 AMJanuary 1705 BC
Shevat 2055 He
Teveth 2298 AM) he entered Egypt with two infant twin sons, Hezron and Hamul.[1]
How long he lived in Egypt, the Bible does not say. His descendants became the most senior clan leaders of the tribe of Judah and later the kings of the United Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah.
