ke.luv is a personal name used for a man named in a genealogy and in the designation of Ezri's father.

The supplied verses use the term as a proper personal name: it identifies the brother of Shuhah in a genealogical statement and identifies Ezri by his father in an administrative notice.

Senses in use

  1. Personal name in genealogy and lineage · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In 1 Chronicles 4:11 the APB renders a genealogical clause in which Chelub is "brother of Shuhah" and begets Mehir; in 1 Chronicles 27:26 it renders Ezri as "son of Chelub" while describing Ezri's charge over land-workers.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as "Chelub" in both verses, once in a genealogy and once in the phrase "son of Chelub." It does not further isolate the term's contribution.
