Summary

The name of two men in Caleb's genealogy, a son and a grandson through Ephah the concubine.

☩Descendants of Caleb

Two men named Gazez appear in Caleb's family line. The first was a son of Caleb by his concubine Ephah; the second was a grandson of Caleb through Haran, who was another son of Ephah. Some scholars believe these may be the same person mentioned twice, possibly due to textual repetition. The name means 'shearer.'
