Footnotes
- 10 The reads “Puvah” (cf. Num 26:23); the Samaritan Pentateuch and read “Puah” (cf. 1 Chr 7:1).
- 11 The reads “Iob,” but the Samaritan Pentateuch and some read “Jashub” (see Num 26:24; 1 Chr 7:1).
- 12 Heb “all the lives of his sons and his daughters, thirty-three.”
- 13 The reads “Ziphion,” but see Num 26:15, the Samaritan Pentateuch and the , all of which read “Zephon.”
- 14 On is another name for the city of Heliopolis.
- 15 The sons of Benjamin. It is questionable whether youthful Benjamin had ten sons by the time he went into Egypt, but it is not impossible. If Benjamin was born when Joseph was six or seven, he was ten when Joseph was sold into Egypt, and would have been thirty-two at this point. Some suggest that the list originally served another purpose and included the names of all who were in the immediate family of the sons, whether born in Canaan or later in Egypt.
- 16 This name appears as “Shuham” in Num 26:42. The reads “Hashum” here.
- 17 Heb “All the people who went with Jacob to Egypt, the ones who came out of his body, apart from the wives of the sons of Jacob, all the people were sixty-six.” The number sixty-six includes the seventy-one descendants (including Dinah) listed in vv. 8–25 minus Er and Onan (deceased), and Joseph, Manasseh, and Ephraim (already in Egypt).
- 18 The reads “nine sons,” probably counting the grandsons of Joseph born to Ephraim and Manasseh (cf. 1 Chr 7:14–20).
- 19 Heb “And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt were two people; all the people belonging to the house of Jacob who came to Egypt were seventy.” The number seventy includes Jacob himself and the seventy-one descendants (including Dinah, Joseph, Manasseh, and Ephraim) listed in vv. 8–25, minus Er and Onan (deceased). The gives the number as “seventy-five” (cf. Acts 7:14).
