SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:20
Y Joctán engendró a Almodad, Selef, Hazarmavet, Jera,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 1:20
Verse 20. Joktan begat Almodad] "He divided and measured the earth by lines. Sheleph; he assigned rivers to be boundaries. Hazarmaveth; he prepared a place of snares to kill by the highways. Jerah; he built inns, and when any person came to eat and drink, he gave him deadly poison, and so took his property." -T. According to these traditions, the two first were geographers; the third, a public robber; and the fourth, an unprincipled innkeeper, who gave poison to his rich guests, that he might get their property. Such things have been done even in modern times.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-27 - This chapter, and many that follow, repeat the genealogies, or lists of fathers and children in the Bible history, and put them together, with many added. When compared with other places, there are some difference found; yet we must not therefore stumble at the word, but bless God that the things necessary to salvation are plain enough. The origina of the Jewish nation is here traced from the first man that God created, and is thereby distinguished from the obscure, fabulous, an absurd origins assigned to other nations. But the nations now are all so mingled with one another, that no one nation, nor the greatest par of any, is descended entirely from any of one nation, nor the greates part of any, is descended entirely from any of these fountains. Onl this we are sure of, that God has created of one blood all nations of men; they are all descended from one Adam, one Noah. Have we not all one father? Has not one God created us? Mal 2:10.
