Overview

Resheph appears in the genealogical records of the tribe of Ephraim, demonstrating the importance Scripture places on family lineages and tribal identity in Israel's history. His inclusion in the genealogy of 1 Chronicles shows that even lesser-known individuals were part of God's covenant people and the line leading to Israel's history.
