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.
