Chur
and Hur
Chur (Chûwr) — a personal name used for several individuals in the Hebrew Bible, primarily referring to Israelite men and once to a Midianite leader. The name does not have intrinsic meaning in Biblical usage outside of its function as a proper noun, though it is etymologically connected with the root meaning 'white' or 'linen.' In specific biblical contexts, 'Chur' is most notably an Israelite associated with Moses and the Exodus narrative, as well as other bearers of the name in genealogical and narrative materials.
