Woman living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness - unnamed daughter of Machir

The daughter of Machir married Hezron and gave birth to Segub.

The daughter of Machir is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 2:21 as the wife of Hezron, who married her in his old age. Machir was the son of Manasseh, and his daughter's marriage to Hezron, a descendant of Judah, represents an inter-tribal union. She gave birth to a son named Segub. This brief mention in the genealogy of Judah highlights the connection between the tribes of Judah and Manasseh through this marriage.
