Ephron's father in 238.—the son of the Canaanitess] representing a clan
of notoriously impure stock.—11. (= Ex. 616).—12. As Nu. 2620f..—The

2626).—(Hebrew characters) a Zebulunite judge in Ju. 1211.—15. (Hebrew characters) and (Hebrew characters)

16-18. The sons of Zilpah (Leah's handmaid): seven
sons of Gad (16), four sons, one daughter, and two grandsons
of Asher (17): sixteen in all (18).
16. (As Nu. 2615ff., with textual differences).—(Hebrew characters)] [E]G (Hebrew characters), as Nu.

19-22. The sons of Rachel: two of Joseph (20) and ten of
Benjamin (21), in all fourteen.
20. (Hebrew characters)] G + (Greek characters). But the rel. cl. (Hebrew characters)—(Hebrew characters) was probably added by the
glossator, in which case the (Hebrew characters) of G is superfluous.—G adds, in partial
agreement with Nu. 2629ff., five names as sons and grandsons of
Manasseh and Ephraim.—21. In G only the first three names are sons
of Benjamin, the next six being sons, and the last a grandson, of Bela'.

26, 27. The final summations.
The original computation (70 = 33 + 16 + 14 + 7) included Er and Onan,
but excluded Dinah and Jacob. The secondary figure 66 (= 32 + 16 + 11
+ 7) excludes Er and Onan, and Joseph and his two sons, but includes
