Oren

Oren was a son of Jerahmeel in the tribe of Judah, mentioned in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles. He represents one of many biblical figures whose lineage is preserved in Scripture to document God's covenant people.

Overview

Oren appears in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles as a descendant of Judah through Jerahmeel. While little is known about his personal life or accomplishments, his inclusion in Scripture demonstrates God's attention to the lineage of His people and the importance of faithful family records throughout biblical history.

Key Scriptures

"The sons of Jerahmeel the firstborn of Hezron were Ram the firstborn, Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah." (1 Chronicles 2:25, ESV)

The genealogies of 1 Chronicles trace the line of Judah from which Jesus Christ would ultimately come, showing God's sovereign plan working through generations of faithful people.

Application

Consider how God values the details of our lives and family heritage—even those whose names appear briefly in Scripture remind us that faithfulness in obscurity matters eternally to our heavenly Father.
