   In Matthew 1:3, the accusative singular masculine forms occur in the succession where Perez begets the named person, who then begets Ram; the APB renders the sequence, "Perez then begot Hezron. Hezron then begot Ram." In Luke 3:33, the genitive singular masculine form occurs in a repeated "son of" line between Arni and Perez; the APB renders "the son of Hezron, the son of Perez."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Matthew 1:3 and Luke 3:33, the APB presents the name as "Hezron" within genealogical statements of begetting and sonship. The verse is read as a whole, but both verses locate the term in the ancestry surrounding Perez.
