Footnotes

  1. 1 Chronicles 1:1 The genealogies of the first nine chapters of 1 Chronicles present considerable challenges for the translator and reader. Although many of the names appear in earlier genealogical lists in the Bible, many names are spelled differently here, and there are other differences between the lists. Also many of the genealogies are incomplete, omitting some generations.
  2. 1 Chronicles 1:4 The Hebrew text does not include the words the sons of Noah were. The translation follows the Greek text.
  3. 1 Chronicles 1:5 Some of these proper names are the names both of individuals and of the ethnic groups derived from them. Some of these names also serve as the names of the geographic locations in which these peoples lived. Sometimes in genealogies the term sons includes successive generations of descendants.
  4. 1 Chronicles 1:6 Variant Ripath. In Hebrew script the equivalents of d and r look very much alike.
  5. 1 Chronicles 1:7 Even though they are called sons, the names ending in -im refer to groups of people rather than to individuals. Generally in narrative contexts this -im ending is translated as -ites. Here we keep some of the -im endings to reflect the structure and nature of the genealogies.
  6. 1 Chronicles 1:7 Variant Dodanim. The Hebrew equivalents of d and r look very much alike in Hebrew script.
  7. 1 Chronicles 1:8 Mizraim is the Hebrew name for Egypt.
  8. 1 Chronicles 1:9 The stop mark ′ indicates that the double a in Ra’ama should be pronounced as two syllables, Ray-ama.
  9. 1 Chronicles 1:10 Or began to be
  10. 1 Chronicles 1:16 The groups of people in this section are not marked by the ethnic ending -im but by -i, translated here as -ites.
  11. 1 Chronicles 1:17 The Hebrew does not have the words sons of Aram. The translation follows the parallel in Genesis 10:23.
  12. 1 Chronicles 1:17 Variant Mash or Massa
  13. 1 Chronicles 1:18 Some Greek texts add another generation after Arphaxad, namely, Kenan/Cainan. See the note at Genesis 11:13.
  14. 1 Chronicles 1:19 Peleg means division.
  15. 1 Chronicles 1:22 Variant Obal
  16. 1 Chronicles 1:32 A concubine is a legal wife, but with a lesser status than that of the primary wife or wives.
  17. 1 Chronicles 1:36 The Hebrew text reads and Timna and Amalek, but Genesis 36:12 indicates that Timna was the mother of Amalek. Also see verses 39, where Timna is a woman, and 51, in which Timna is a man.
  18. 1 Chronicles 1:38 It is clear from what follows that not all of these names are sons in the narrow biological sense of the term. Seir is the same region as Edom. These are not necessarily physical descendants of Esau but peoples that joined his nation.
  19. 1 Chronicles 1:40 Variant Alvan. The Hebrew equivalents of i and v look alike.
  20. 1 Chronicles 1:41 Variant Hemdan
  21. 1 Chronicles 1:42 Variant Akan
  22. 1 Chronicles 1:48 The River usually refers to the Euphrates, which is far from Edom.
  23. 1 Chronicles 1:50 Variant Pau
  24. 1 Chronicles 1:51 Variant Alvah. The Hebrew letters i and v look alike.
