VERSE 1
   * Ge 46:13
- Phuvah, Job.
   * Nu 26:23,24
- Pua.


VERSE 2 
 - whose number.
  This was probably the number returned by Joab and his
  assistants, when they made that census of the people with
  which God was so much displeased.  We find that the effective
  men of Issachar amounted to 87,000 (ver. 5;) 22,600 of whom
  descended from Tola his eldest son; but whether the 36,000
  (ver. 4) were descendants of Tola by Uzzi, and the 22,600 his
  descendants by Tola's other sons; or whether another of
  Issachar's sons be intended, does not clearly appear; though
  the former seems the more obvious meaning.

   * 1Ch 21:1-5; 27:1,23,24 2Sa 24:1-9

VERSE 4

VERSE 5


VERSE 6 
 - of Benjamin.
  In the parallel place of Genesis, ten sons of Benjamin are
  reckoned, Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh,
  Muppim, Huppim, and Ard; and in Numbers, five only are
  mentioned, Bela, Ashbel, Ahiraim, Shupham, and Hupham; and Ard
  and Naaman are said to be the sons of Bela, and consequently
  Benjamin's grandsons.  In the beginning of the following
  chapter, also, five are only mentioned, Bela, Ashbel, Aharah,
  Nohah, and Rapha; and Addar, Gera, Abihud, Abishua, Naaman,
  Ahoha, another Gera, Shephuphan, and Huram, are all
  represented as grandsons, not sons of Benjamin:  hence we see
  that in many cases, grandsons are called sons, and both are
  often confounded in the genealogical tables.  It seems, also,
  that the persons mentioned in the following verses were
  neither sons nor grandsons of Bela and Becher, but
  distinguished persons among their descendants.

   * 1Ch 8:1-12 Ge 46:21 Nu 26:38-41
- Jediael.

VERSE 11 
 - mighty men.
   * 2Ch 17:13-19


VERSE 12 
 - Shuppim.
   * :15 Ge 46:21
- Muppim, Huppim.
   * Nu 26:39
- Shupham, Hupham.  Ir.
   * :7
- Iri.  Aher.
  {Aher} signifies another, and it has been conjectured that
  these were Danites, "the sons of another tribe;" especially as
  Hushim is named as the only son of Dan, Ge 46:23.  And they
  suppose that the name of Dan was not mentioned, because his
  descendants first established idolatry.  But Zebulun, as well
  as Dan, is here omitted, perhaps because none of either of
  these tribes returned at first from Babylon.  Though the
  Benjamites had been almost destroyed in the first days of the
  judges, they soon became numerous and powerful.

   * Nu 26:38
- Ahiram.


VERSE 13 
 - Jahziel.
   * Ge 46:24 Nu 26:48

   * Ge 46:24 Nu 26:49
- Shillem.  the sons of Bilhah.
   * Ge 30:3-8; 35:22; 46:25


VERSE 14 
 - The sons.
  The text in these two verses seems to be strangely corrupted;
  and, as it stands, is scarcely intelligible.  Probably it
  should be rendered, "The sons of Manasseh were Ashriel, whom
  his Syrian concubine bore to him; and Machir the father of
  Gilead, whom (his wife) bore to him.  Machir took for a wife
  Maachah, sister to Huppim and Shuppim."  This is nearly the
  version of Dr. Geddes.

- Machir.
   * 1Ch 2:21-23 Ge 50:23 Nu 26:29-34; 27:1; 32:30-42 De 3:13-15
   * Jos 13:31; 17:1-3 Jud 5:14


VERSE 15 
 - Huppim.
   * :12
- and the name.
  It is certain that Zelophehad was not a son, but a descendant
  of Manasseh's, three generations having intervened; for he was
  the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the
  son of Manasseh.

- and Zelophehad.
   * Nu 26:33; 27:1-11; 36:1-12


VERSE 16 
 - Peresh.  i.e., excrement, dung.  <\\S#6570h\\>.
- Sheresh.  i.e., a root.  <\\S#8329h\\>.
- Ulam.  i.e., their strength; first of all, portico, vestibule.
  <\\S#198h\\>.
   * :16,17; 8:39,40
- (1) Grandson of Maachah, wife of Machir.
   * :16
- (2) A man of Benjamin, father of many valiant men.
   * 1Ch 8:39,40
- Rakem.  i.e., embroidery; versicolor.  <\\S#7552h\\>.
   * :16; 2:43,44 Nu 31:8 Jos 13:21


VERSE 17 
 - Bedan.
   * 1Sa 12:11

VERSE 18
    * Nu 26:30
- Jeezer.
   * Jud 6:11,24,34; 8:2


VERSE 19 
 - Shemidah.  i.e., fame of wisdom; my name he knows.
  <\\S#8061h\\>.
   * :19 Nu 26:32
- Shemida.
   * Jos 17:2
- Ahian.  i.e., brotherly; firmly bound.  <\\S#291h\\>.
- Shechem.
   * Ge 38:18
- Likhi.  i.e., learned; my doctrine.  <\\S#3949h\\>.
- Aniam.  i.e., mourn of the people.  <\\S#593h\\>.

VERSE 20
    * Nu 26:35,36


VERSE 21 
 - Zabad.
   * 1Ch 2:36
- Shuthelah.  i.e., noise of breaking; freshly appointed;
  resembling rejuvenation.  <\\S#7803h\\>.
   * :20,21 Nu 26:35,36
- Ezer.  <\\S#5827h\\>.
   * 1Ch 4:4 Ge 36:21
- Elead.  i.e., God is witness.  <\\S#496h\\>.
- Gath.
   * Jos 11:22
- because they came.
  Or rather, "when [kŒy <\\S#3588h\\>] {(kee)} they came down to
  take away their cattle;" for it does not appear that the sons
  of Ephraim were the aggressors, but the men of Gath, who
  appear to have been born in Egypt.  This is the only place in
  the Sacred Writings where this piece of history is mentioned,
  and the transaction seems to have happened before the
  Israelites came out of Egypt; for it appears from the
  following verse, that Ephraim was alive when these children of
  his were slain.


VERSE 22 
 - mourned.
   * Ge 37:34
- and his brethren.
   * Job 2:11


VERSE 23 
 - Beriah.  that is, In evil.  because.
  Many similar instances of the naming of children from passing
  circumstances, occur throughout the sacred volume.  See those
  of a similar character with this verse:  Ge 35:18, where
  Rachel, while dying, names her new-born son Ben-oni, or, the
  son of my sorrow.  So in 1 SA 21 4:21, the wife of Phinehas, on
  being apprised of the death of Eli and her husband, and that
  the ark was taken by the Philistines, while in the pains of
  travail, and dying, named her son I-chabod, or, there is no
  glory.  So also in the 4th chapter of this book, ver. 9, we
  read that Jabez, or, sorrowful, had that name given to him,
  because his mother "bare him with sorrow."

   * 2Sa 23:5


VERSE 24 
 - Beth-horon.
   * Jos 16:3,5 1Ki 9:17 2Ch 8:5

 - Rephah.  i.e., healing; to sustain; riches, wealth; healing or
  enfeebling of the breath.  <\\S#7506h\\>.
- Resheph.  i.e., lightning; a flame.  <\\S#7566h\\>.

- Jesus.


VERSE 28 
 - Beth-el.
   * Ge 28:19 Jos 16:2 Jud 1:22
- Naaran.
  Naaran, or Naarath, Eusebius says was a town in his time
  called [             ,] Noorath, five miles from Jericho.  It
  appears to be the same as [          ,] Neara, mentioned by
  Josephus, from whence, he says, they brought the water which
  watered the palm-trees of Jericho.

- Naarath.  Gezer.  See on ch.
   * 1Ch 6:66,67

   * Jos 16:1-18 17:18 Jud 1:22-29


VERSE 30 
 - Imnah.
  This variation only exists in the translation; the original
  being uniformly Jimnah, or Yimnah.

   * Ge 46:17 Nu 26:44-46
- Jimnah.  Ishuai.
  This variation is also attributable to the translator; the
  Hebrew being in both places Isui, or rather, Yishwi.

   * Ge 46:17
- Isui.


VERSE 31

   * Ge 46:17

VERSE 37 
 - Ithran.
  This name is essentially the same, the variation being caused
  by a paragogic [N-wn,] {noon:}  here it is written [Yithrƒn
  <\\S#3506h\\>,] Ithran, and in the following verse [Yether
  <\\S#3500h\\,] Jether.
