Translation commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:20

Hur was the father of Uri: Like his father Hur, Uri is also mentioned in the book of Exodus (31.2; 35.30; 38.22).

And Uri was the father of Bezalel: Bezalel was the skilled worker who made the sacred Tent and its contents in the wilderness (Exo 31.1-11). The Tent was the model for much of the Temple worship.
