7:1
Haydock
Simeron, elsewhere Samron and Semran; (Menochius) which shews, either that the names have been differently pronounced, or that the transcribers have erred. (Haydock)
7:2
Menochius
Chiefs. They were at the head of distinct families. (Menochius)
Calmet
David. We know that David took an account of his fighting men, 2 Kings xxiv. But it is not certain that this register was made at that time; as we read that Benjamin was not numbered, 1 Paralipomenon 21:6. These lists were probably made when some expedition was intended by David. The author was not, perhaps, able to recover the accounts of Nephthali, Manasses, and Ephraim, no more that the genealogies of Dan (ver. 12) and Zabulon, which do not appear in this book. (Calmet)
7:3
Du Hamel
Sons, for "the son." (Du Hamel)
Tirinus
Izrahia. He alone deserved to be mentioned. See ver. 6, where only three sons of Benjamin appear, though there were more, 1 Paralipomenon 8:2. (Tirinus)
Calmet
Five, comprizing Israhia, "all chiefs," (Haydock) men of note, (Du Hamel) or one name may be lost. (Calmet)
7:4
Menochius
Children, who had numerous offspring; (Haydock) so that, in the days of David, these descendants of Thola, amounted to so many. (Menochius)
7:5
Calmet
War. In all, this tribe could muster 145,600 men, at that time. (Calmet)
7:6
Calmet
Benjamin; a man, perhaps, of the tribe of Issachar. See ver. 10. Or the patriarch had originally ten sons, (Genesis 46:21.) or grandsons, five of whom only had children, and perhaps two of their families perished entirely in the war with the other tribes; (Judges 20:46.) so that, under David, only three branches were acknowledged. (Calmet)
Jadihel, or Asbel in Genesis.
7:7
Calmet
Urai, a grandson, called Hir, ver. 12. (Calmet)
Calmet
Five chiefs, but inferior to the seven original families, (Numbers 26:38.; Menochius) unless the fortune of war had made great changes, or some of the lists be imperfect. (Calmet)
7:12
And Hapham; called Mophim and Ophim, (Genesis xlvi.) and Suphim and Hupham, Numbers 26:39.
Calmet
Aher, in Hebrew means, "another" son, called Hazim: or more probably Aher ought to be Dan, the father of Husim, (Genesis 46:23.) as Dan and Nephthali had both the same mother, Bala, ver. 13. (Calmet)
7:14
Calmet
Son. Hebrew, "sons....Ezriel, whom she bare." This seems imperfect. The Hebrews seldom name the mother. (Calmet)
Haydock
Septuagint intimate that the Syrian wife was mother of both. (Haydock)
Galaad, whose posterity enjoyed the country of the same name, (Numbers 22:29., and 32:41.) only Machir in mentioned as the son of Manasses.
7:15
Calmet
And Saphan. St. Jerome seems to have taken them for women. If they were the sons of Hir, (ver. 12) Machir probably adopted them. Hebrew, "Machir took a wife from Happhim," etc. But does one woman marry two men? Syriac and Arabic, "Machir took a wife one of the sisters of Huphim and Suphim, (the great and powerful) named Maacha." (Calmet)
Haydock
Protestants, "the sister of Huppim....whose sister's name was Maachah." (Haydock)
Calmet
Hebrew may have this sense, with a small alteration. (Calmet)
Le Clerc thinks that the name of the woman has been lost, and the text altered.
Calmet
Second. This also seems defective, as no first had been mentioned. (Calmet)
Haydock
Two intervened between Machir and Salphaad, namely, Galaad and Hepher, (Numbers 26:29., and 27:1.; Menochius) so that Salphaad was his great-grandson. (Haydock)
7:17
Kennicott
Badan, perhaps the same with Jair; (Judges 10:3., and 1 Kings 12:11.; Calmet) or rather in this last place, the Syriac, etc., read more correctly Barac, and Samson instead of Samuel, who was then speaking. See Hebrews 11:32. There was no such deliverer as Badan, but the word has been corrupted from Barac. (Septuagint) (Kennicott)
7:18
Worthington
Queen. Hebrew, "Moleceth bore Ishehod." St. Jerome and the Latin Church translate these names. (Worthington)
Haydock
Protestants, "Hammoleketh bore Ishod." (Haydock)
Haydock
The proper names might have been as well retained, (Calmet) as in the Septuagint. (Haydock)
Abiezer, (19) Leci, are the Jeser and Chelek, Numbers 26:30.
7:20
Haydock
Bared, Thahath, probably called Becher and Theken, in Numbers. Three alone are there mentioned, though the other thirteen, whose names are given, seem to have been all the immediate sons of Ephriam, (Calmet) since he mourns for them, (ver. 22.; Menochius) and has other children afterwards. (Haydock)
The dreadful slaughter made of them, is perhaps the reason why only three are mentioned in Numbers, and none in Genesis.
7:21
Haydock
Son, Ezer. Hebrew, "and Ezer and Elad." His son, after each, seems to be twice omitted, as these were in the same degree as the rest. Septuagint agree with the Vulgate. (Haydock)
Tirinus
Because they, the sons of Ephraim, (Calmet, etc.) or the men of Geth. (Syriac and Arabic) (Du Hamel) (Menochius) (Tirinus)
Calmet
The text is ambiguous, but the former supposition seems more rational, (Haydock) and more generally received. (Calmet)
7:23
Challoner
Beria. This name signifies, in evil, or in affliction. (Challoner)
Menochius
Briáe, "in howling." (Menochius)
7:24
Calmet
Daughter, or great grand-daughter, repaired these three cities. (Calmet)
Haydock
The last, probably, was called after her. (Haydock)
Calmet
But its situation is unknown. (Calmet)
7:25
Haydock
Thale. Hebrew, "and Thale, his son, and Thaan, his son." These seem to have been the sons of Ephraim. The following were their descendants. (Haydock)
7:29
Daughters. Septuagint, "villages."
7:34
Aram. Add, "and Helem," (Calmet) unless Helem was the first-born (ver. 35) of Ahi, which signifies "brother." Perhaps Helem was brother of Somer, called Hotham, ver. 32.
7:37
Haydock
Jethran. Septuagint, Jether," as in the following verse, ver. 38. (Haydock)
7:38
7:40
Haydock
Of captains; a Hebrew idiom, to denote the most excellent. (Haydock)
Calmet
Hebrew, "chief of the princes." All mentioned from ver. 30, were at the hand of their tribe, in succession, and led their brethren to battle. (Calmet)
7:23
Beria.... This name signifies in evil, or in affliction.
7:6
Gen. 46. this third sonne is called As bel: & seuen more are there recited. And so in the rest is much difference: but al may be reconciled by such rules as are noted. chap. 1.
7:18
••••cheth: Regiaa Queene.
Ishod, V•ram decorum. that is, A comelic personable or goodlie maa. So we leaue the hebrew 〈◊〉 in this place because •. serom, and the whole Church doth so in the latin text which we translate.
7:3
3. SONS OF OZI. — "Sons," that is son; for only one is named, namely Izrahiah, because Ezra wished to continue his lineage alone, as it were of one distinguished. For it is probable that Ozi had more sons, but less renowned. For it is certain that in these ten chapters the names of many descendants of the Patriarchs are passed over; for it would have been tedious and as it were infinite to enumerate all. Wherefore only some more illustrious are here enumerated, the rest are passed over. Thus in Genesis XLVI, 23, it is said: "The sons of Dan, Husim." "Sons," that is son; for he had only one, from whom the whole tribe of Dan was propagated. It is an enallage of number. For he enumerates all the sons of the Patriarchs, of whom Dan had only one.
7:6
6. SONS OF BENJAMIN: BELA AND BECHOR AND JADIEL THREE. — These three were more illustrious: for universally there were ten, who are enumerated in Genesis XLVI, 21.
7:18
18. AND HIS SISTER A QUEEN BORE A MAN OF GOODLY APPEARANCE. — The Hebrew, and his sister Molechet bore Isehod. Thus the Septuagint, Pagninus, Vatablus and others; but Our translator rendered the proper names by their meanings after his custom: for Molechet means queen, and Isehod indeed means a man of goodly appearance. See what is said in chapter IV, verses 22 and 23.
7:21
21. AND THE MEN OF GATH THAT WERE BORN IN THAT LAND SLEW THEM (the sons of Ephraim the firstborn of Joseph), BECAUSE THEY CAME DOWN TO TAKE AWAY THEIR POSSESSIONS. — It is probable that Pharaoh, to whom Joseph, whom he had set over Egypt because he had averted famine from it, gave some possessions, especially in its borders, and the land of Goshen which he had assigned to his brothers for feeding cattle. And Joseph, dying, left these possessions to his son Ephraim; and Ephraim gave them to his sons; but the Gethites, neighbors of Egypt, slew them and occupied their possessions, and this is what is said here. The Chaldean Paraphrast mentions this slaughter, Song of Songs II, 7, but mixes many fabulous things with the truth after his manner.
7:24
24. AND HIS DAUGHTER WAS SARA, WHO BUILT BETHHORON. — "Daughter," that is granddaughter or rather great-granddaughter: for the daughter of Ephraim dwelling with him in Egypt could not have built Bethhoron and two other cities, which were in Canaan.
Machine translation from the Latin, not reviewed.
7:1
The name is explained by the mother: "The Lord has given me my reward" (šāhār), which presupposes the biblical spelling of the qēthibh (Gen. 30:18; cf. v. 16). With the sons Thola, Phua, Iasub and Semran (Gen. 46:13; Num. 26:23; I Chron. 7:1), I. went down with Jacob into Egypt, where the descendants of his sons multiplied so greatly that at the time of the exodus the tribe counted 54,400 warriors in the first census (Num. …
