Moza

Moza was a name borne by individuals in Old Testament genealogies, appearing in the lineage of Judah and Benjamin. These biblical references preserve the family records of God's covenant people.

Overview

Moza appears in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles as a descendant in the line of Judah through Caleb, and also in the genealogy of Benjamin. The name appears in two distinct genealogical contexts, demonstrating the careful historical record-keeping of Israel's tribal ancestry. While Moza is not described as a major figure in Scripture, his inclusion in these genealogies affirms the biblical pattern of preserving family lineage and tribal identity.

Key Scriptures

"Ephah also bore Moza" (1 Chronicles 2:46, ESV). "Ahaz fathered Jehoaddah, and Jehoaddah fathered Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri fathered Moza" (1 Chronicles 8:36, ESV). "And Moza fathered Binea; Raphah was his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son" (1 Chronicles 8:37, ESV).

Application

These genealogies remind us that God knows and records the lives of His people throughout history, and our lives matter in His eternal purposes.
