1 Chronicles 2:35

_AND SHESHAN GAVE HIS DAUGHTER TO JARHA HIS SERVANT TO WIFE; AND SHE BARE HIM ATTAI._ Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha his servant to wife. The adoption and marriage of a foreign slave in the family where he is serving is far from being a rare or extraordinary occurrence in Eastern countries. It is thought, however, by some, among whom is Michaelis, to have been a connection not sanctioned by the law of Moses.

Egypt. In such a case, therefore, there could be no legal difficulty. Being a foreign slave, he had no inheritance in a different tribe to injure by this connection; while his marriage with Shes...

We here enter, in fact, upon the genealogies and tables and enumeratious of collateral lines of "all Israel," to which the whole of the following seven chapters are devoted ...
