역대상 7:3 주석

In this chapter we have some account of the genealogies, I. Of Issachar (Ch1 7:1-5). II. Of Benjamin (Ch1 7:6-12). III. Of Naphtali (Ch1 7:13). IV. Of Manasseh (Ch1 7:14-19). V. Of Ephraim (Ch1 7:20-29). VI. Of Asher (Ch1 7:30-40). Here is no account either of Zebulun or Dan. Why they only should be omitted we can assign no reason; only it is the disgrace of the tribe of Dan that idolatry began in that colony of the Danites which fixed in Laish, and called Dan, and there one of the golden calves was set up by Jeroboam. Dan is omitted, Rev. 7.

INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 7 In this chapter are given the genealogies of the tribes of Issachar, Ch1 7:1 of Benjamin, Ch1 7:6 Naphtali, Ch1 7:13, of Manasseh, Ch1 7:14 of Ephraim, Ch1 7:20 and of Asher, Ch1 7:30, even of the chief men of them; and their numbers are reckoned as in the times of David. The tribes of Dan and Zebulun are omitted.

And with them, by their generations, after the house of their fathers, were bands of soldiers for war,.... Companies of men of military courage and skill, who could and did go out to war upon occasion: six and thirty thousand men; besides the 22,600 Tolaites, Ch1 7:2, for they had many wives and sons; having many wives, they had many sons; polygamy was the cause of their large numbers; and that they gave into for the sake of the multiplication of Abraham's seed, according to the divine promise.

The genealogy of Issachar, Ch1 7:1-5. Of Benjamin, Ch1 7:6-12. Of Naphtali, Ch1 7:13. Of Manasseh, Ch1 7:14-19. Of Ephraim, Ch1 7:20-29. And of Asher, Ch1 7:30-40.

The sons of Izrahiah - five - There are, however, only four names in the text. Instead of five, the Syriac and Arabic read four. If five be the true reading, then Izrahiah must be reckoned with his four sons.

SONS OF ISSACHAR. (Ch1 7:1-5) Jashub--or Job (Gen 46:13).

five: all of them chief men--Four only are mentioned; so that as they are stated to be five, in this number the father, Izrahiah, must be considered as included; otherwise one of the names must have dropped out of the text. They were each at the head of a numerous and influential division of their tribe.
