Commentary on Genesis 38:5

Theological / Devotional

He was at Chezib. This place is named in order that the descendants of Shelah might know where their forefather was born. Chezib, or Achzib (Joshua 15:44; Micah 1:14), is probably to be identified with the present site Tell el-Beida, which lies southwest of Adullam.
