Hezron (son of Perez)

The name that is transliterated as “Hezron” in English is translated in Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) with a sign that signifies “surrounded by a wall” (a possible meaning of the name) and combines it with two V’s, representing the fact that his father (Perez or Pharez) and uncle (Zerah) were twins (see Genesis 38:29 and following). (Source: Missão Kophós )
