Hur: (a) (d. 1313 BCE) Son of Miriam and Caleb, grandfather of Bezalel. Moses placed Aaron and Hur in charge of the Israelites in his absence, when he ascended Mount Sinai to receive the Tablets. According to the Midrash, Hur was stoned to death when he objected to the creation of the Golden Calf. (b) One of the five Kings of Midian mentioned in the Book of Numbers.
