EZ-ruh
This person shows up in 1 Chronicles 4:17: “The sons of Ezrah: Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon; and she bore Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah the father of Eshtemoa.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
1 Chronicles 4:17
“The sons of Ezrah: Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon; and she bore Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah the father of Eshtemoa.”
