1 Chronicles 6:57

_AND THESE ARE THE SONS OF AARON; ELEAZAR HIS SON, PHINEHAS HIS SON, ABISHUA HIS SON,_ No JFB commentary on these verses....

The writer evidently had before him Joshua 21, which he followed, as to its matter, closely. In some cases he perhaps modernised the ancient names (1 Chronicles 6:58, 1 Chronicles 6:60, 1 Chronicles 6:72, etc.); in a few he substituted for the old an entirely new name, the modern apellation, probably, of the ancient site 1 Chronicles 6:70, 1 Chronicles 6:77. At one time, it would seem, his intention was to give t

EXPOSITION 1 CHRONICLES 6:1 The tribe of Levi is now taken. The first three verses prepare the way for running rapidly down the line of high priest descent, from Aaron's son Eleazar to Jehozadak, who is reached at the twenty-fifth name from Levi, though not necessarily the twenty-fifth generation, as there appear (1 Chronicles 6:11) to be some omissions. Nor are all the names which are given those of high priests, for the genealogy of Jehozadak did not always pass though such. 1 CHRONICLES 6:1 This verse gives the three branches of Levi,and is in agreement with the enumeration of them in...

PART I (1 Chronicles 1-9). GENEALOGICAL LISTS, TOGETHER WITH GEOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL NOTES. These Chapter s form a general introduction to the whole work. They contain the following genealogies, often in an incomplete form: Adam to Israel (1 Chronicles 1:1 to 1 Chronicles 2:2) with the exception of Cain's descendants (Genesis 4:16) the whole material is taken from Genesis 1-36; Judah (1 Chronicles 2:3); David (1 Chronicles 3:1); Judah again, and made up of fragments ...

_the cities of Judah_, namely, _Hebron_, the city _of refuge_ Render (with a slight correction of the Hebrew) THE CITY OF REFUGE, HEBRON (cp. Joshua 21:13), Hebron being the only city of refuge here mentioned (Joshua 20:7). _Libnah_ Jos 10:29; 2 Kings 8:22; 2 Kings 19:8. It was in the S.W. of Judah. _Eshtemoa_ the modern es-Semu-a, three and a half hours S. of Hebron....

THE CITIES OF JUDAH— The author of this book, as well as the author of the book of Joshua, (chap. 1 Chronicles 21:19.) expressly asserts, that the cities given to the Levites were _thirteen._ In the catalogue before us, two of the names are omitted, and only five of them written as they are in Joshua. The differences in the 4th, 5th, and 6th names are very immaterial. The transposition of the two last names shews no want of correctness in either catalogue. See Pilkington, p. 30. Houbigant translates the beginning of this verse, _moreover to the sons of Aaron they gave for a city of refuge, Hebron with her suburbs, and Libna,_ &c....
