1 Chronicles 7:25

_AND REPHAH WAS HIS SON, ALSO RESHEPH, AND TELAH HIS SON, AND TAHAN HIS SON,_ And Rephah was his son, also Resheph. Here the historian traces the family of Beriah-Rephah being his oldest son, and Resheph, not being accompanied by that addition, must be considered as the brother of Rephah, whose posterity is now described until the register terminates in Joshua. Such is the natural and apparent view of this genealogy. But more minute examination both of the names contained in the register, and of the historical incident interwoven with it, will reveal singularities and difficulties which do not appear on the surface. (1) As to the names: Shuthelah (1 Chronicles 7:20) and Telah (1 Chronicles 7:25) refer to one person (cf....

EXPOSITION 1 CHRONICLES 7:1 The great tribes of Judah and Levi being now passed, as well as the minor ones of Simeon, Reuben, and Gad, we reach the SONS OF ISSACHAR. Issachar was Jacob's fifth son by Leah (Genesis 35:23). In the list of Genesis 46:13 our PUAH (פוּאָח) appears differently spelt as Phuvah (פֻוָּח), and JASHUB is found as Job, which is corrected by the Samaritan Codex to Jashub, and this reading the Septuagint follows. In the other parallel passage (Numbers 26:23) the Phuvah form obtains, but the other names are the same as her

Ver. 25-27. AND REPHAH WAS HIS SON,.... The son of Beriah, whose genealogy from him is traced down to Joshua in this and the two following verses, and stands thus: after Rephah, Resheph, Telah, Tahan, Laadan, Ammihud, Elishama, who was prince of the tribe of Ephraim in the wilderness, Numbers 1:10, then Non or Nun, whose son was Jehoshua or Joshua....

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 treatment of different tribes is unequal in this chapter. In the case of Issachar (1 Chronicles 7:1-5), Benjamin (1 Chronicles 7:6-12), and Asher (1 Chronicles 7:30-40), genealogies are given and the number of fighting-men of each tribe is stated. To Naphtali is devoted a single verse, giving only the names of his sons. For Manasseh and Ephraim genealogies are given and their possessions are shortly enumerated. The mention of Dan is obliterated, owing to the state of the text of 1 Chronicles 7:12....

13. THE DESCENDANTS OF EPHRAIM (1 Chronicles 7:20-29) TEXT 1 Chronicles 7:20. And the sons of Ephraim: Shuthelah, and Bered his son, and Tahath his son, and Eleadah his son, and Tahath his son, 21. and Zabad his son, and Shuthelah his son, and Ezer, and Elead, whom the men of Gath that were born in the land slew, because they came down to take away their cattle. 22. And Ephraim their father mourned many days, and his brethren came to comfort him. 23. And he went in to his wife, and she conceived, and bare a son, and he called his name Beriah, because it went evil with his house. 24. And his daughter was Sheerah, who built Beth-horon the nether and the upper, and Uzzen-sheerah. 25. And Rephah was his son, and Resheph, and Telah his son, and Tahan his son, 26. Ladan his

THE BOOK OF 1 CHRONICLES GOD RULES HISTORY 1 CHRONICLES _Ian Mackervoy_ CHAPTER 7 THE *TRIBE OF ISSACHAR – 1 CHRONICLES 7:1-5 V1 Issachar had 4 sons: Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron.

AND REPHAH HIS SON; AND RESHEPH AND TELAH HIS SON. — (Heb. text). This seems to mean that Rephah was son of Beriah. But perhaps a son of Ephraim is intended. Rephah does not occur among the sons of Ephraim (Numbers 26:35). The word “his son” (_benô_) may have fallen out after Resheph. Otherwise Resheph is brother and Telah son of Rephah (the elder). Resheph, which means “arrow,” “lightning,” “fever,” was a title of the Phoenician Baal. “Tahan,” a son of Ephraim (Numbers 26:35 : “the clan of the Tahanites”)....
