SONS OF ISRAEL.

1Ch 2:3-12.
猶大的後裔
3. 猶大的兒子——他的後裔首先被列舉,因為長子名分的權利與特權已轉歸他
(Ge 49:8),
也因為彌賽亞將出自他的支派。
英文原文
1Ch 2:3-12.
POSTERITY OF JUDAH.
3. The sons of Judah--His descendants are enumerated first, because the right and privileges of the primogeniture had been transferred to him
(Ge 49:8),
and because from his tribe the Messiah was to spring.

6. 心利、以探、希幔、甲各、達大——這五人在此被稱為謝拉的兒子，謝拉即以斯拉，因此他們被稱為以斯拉人
(1Ki 4:31)。
在那節經文中他們被稱為「瑪曷的兒子」，但「瑪曷」不當視為專有名詞，而當視為普通名詞，意為「音樂、舞蹈之子」等。他們極大的智慧與造詣，其傳統聲名一直流傳到所羅門時代，並成為比較的標準，以顯出那位君王更超越的智慧。猶太作者說，他們的同胞在他們寄居埃及期間，把他們當作先知來尊崇。
英文原文
6. Zimri, and Ethan, and Heman, and Calcol, and Dara--These five are here stated to be the sons of Zerah, that is, of Ezra, whence they were called Ezrahites
(1Ki 4:31).
In that passage they are called "the sons of Mahol," which, however, is to be taken not as a proper name, but appellatively for "sons of music, dancing," &c. The traditional fame of their great sagacity and acquirements had descended to the time of Solomon and formed a standard of comparison for showing the superior wisdom of that monarch. Jewish writers say that they were looked up to as prophets by their countrymen during the abode in Egypt.

7. 迦米的兒子——他是心利的兒子，心利又名撒底
(Jos 7:1)。
亞干——或作亞割
(Jos 7:1)。
這裏使用此名的這種變體形式，實在非常恰當，因為「亞干」意為「麻煩者」。
英文原文
7. the sons of Carmi--He was the son of Zimri, or Zabdi, as he is called
(Jos 7:1).
Achar--or Achan
(Jos 7:1).
This variety in the form of the name is with great propriety used here, since Achar means "troubler."

15. 大衛是第七個——既然從
1Sa 16:10; 17:12
看來耶西有八個兒子，那麼此處大衛被列為他父親的第七子，大概意味着其中一個在早年夭折，沒有留下後裔。
英文原文
15. David the seventh--As it appears
(1Sa 16:10; 17:12)
that Jesse had eight sons, the presumption is from David being mentioned here as the seventh son of his father, that one of them had died at an early age, without leaving issue.

17. 以實瑪利人益帖——（參
2Sa 17:25）。
在那節經文中他被稱為以色列人以特拉；在大衛初年的時候，似乎沒有理由要特別把某人標明為以色列人。比較可能的讀法是七十士譯本所採用的，稱他為「耶斯列人以帖」。他定居於別的支派，或一個女子嫁到自己支派之外，這情形已經足夠罕見而奇特，因此需要說明亞比該嫁給了一個耶斯列人。
英文原文
17. Jether the Ishmaelite--(compare
2Sa 17:25).
In that passage he is called Ithra an Israelite; and there seems no reason why, in the early days of David, anyone should be specially distinguished as an Israelite. The presumption is in favor of the reading followed by the Septuagint, which calls him "Jetra the Jezreelite." The circumstance of his settling in another tribe, or of a woman marrying out of her own tribe, was sufficiently rare and singular to call for the statement that Abigail was married to a man of Jezreel.

1Ch 2:18-55.
1Ch 2:18-55.
迦勒的後裔。
18. 希斯崙的兒子迦勒——關於這人的記載，在我們的譯本中顯得混亂。在
1Ch 2:19
說他是戶珥的父親，但在
1Ch 2:50
他卻被稱為「戶珥的兒子」。後一處的話在抄寫時被顛倒了，應當讀作「戶珥是迦勒的兒子」。
他妻子阿蘇巴和耶略生了兒女——前者是他的正室，而耶略似乎是次妻，是此處所列兒女的母親。他的正妻去世後，他娶了以法拉，由她生了戶珥
[1Ch 2:19]。
英文原文
1Ch 2:18-55.
POSTERITY OF CALEB.
18. Caleb the son of Hezron--The notices concerning this person appear confused in our version. In
1Ch 2:19
he is said to be the father of Hur, whereas in
1Ch 2:50
he is called "the son of Hur." The words in this latter passage have been transposed in the copying, and should be read thus, "Hur the son of Caleb."
begat children of Azubah his wife, and of Jerioth--The former was his spouse, while Jerioth seems to have been a secondary wife, and the mother of the children whose names are here given. On the death of his principal wife, he married Ephrath, and by her had Hur
[1Ch 2:19].

21. 瑪吉的女兒，瑪吉是基列的父親——即那城的首領；那城連同鄰近的土地無疑是瑪吉的產業，他極其渴望有一個男嗣。他是約瑟的孫子。瑪吉的妻子屬於瑪拿西支派
(Nu 26:29)。
英文原文
21. Hezron . . . daughter of Machir the father of Gilead--that is, chief of that town, which with the lands adjacent was no doubt the property of Machir, who was so desirous of a male heir. He was grandson of Joseph. The wife of Machir was of the tribe of Manasseh
(Nu 26:29).

22. 睚珥在基列地有二十三座城——作為示割的兒子、希斯崙的孫子，他是猶大支派的人；但從他母系的家世，他被稱為
(Nu 32:41; De 3:14)
「瑪拿西的兒子」。這稱號意味着他的產業是憑着他祖母的權利而屬於那個支派的；換言之，他的外曾祖父兼收養者是瑪拿西的兒子瑪吉。睚珥既繼承了他的產業，便是他直系的代表；這一點也明確地被陳述為事實，因為「哈倭特睚珥」那一組村莊正是因着他英勇愛國的功績而被分給他在那個支派中。然而這安排是在那律法
(Nu 36:1-13)
之前，該律法規定承受產業的女兒們必須在本支派內婚配。但睚珥的例子表明，一個人若在另一個支派中得到產業，便需要徹底融入那個支派，成為他所承受產業的那個家族的代表。他已被收納入瑪拿西；若非本段經文對民數記那段作了補充的說明，人們絕不會想到他不是一個本然的「瑪拿西之子」。
英文原文
22. Jair, who had three and twenty cities in the land of Gilead--As the son of Segub and the grandson of Hezron, he was of the tribe of Judah; but from his maternal descent he is called
(Nu 32:41; De 3:14)
"the son of Manasseh." This designation implies that his inheritance lay in that tribe in right of his grandmother; in other words, his maternal and adopting great-grandfather was Machir the son of Manasseh. Jair, inheriting his property, was his lineal representative; and accordingly this is expressly stated to be the case; for the village group of "Havoth-Jair" was awarded to him in that tribe, in consequence of his valiant and patriotic exploits. This arrangement, however, took place previous to the law
(Nu 36:1-13),
by which it was enacted that heiresses were to marry in their own tribe. But this instance of Jair shows that in the case of a man obtaining an inheritance in another tribe it required him to become thoroughly incorporated with it as a representative of the family through which the inheritance was received. He had been adopted into Manasseh, and it would never have been imagined that he was other than "a son of Manasseh" naturally, had not this passage given information supplementary to that of the passage in Numbers.

23. 他取了——更當作「他曾取了」。這話是解釋他如何獲得如此廣大的領土；他是從先前的主人那裏憑征服的權利取得的。
基納——這地方連同周圍的一組村莊，是睚珥派去攻取的屬下挪巴所取得的
(Nu 32:1, 2)。
這些都屬瑪吉的兒子——在這些人中，睚珥也被包括在內，因為他藉着婚姻和居住在基列，已經完全認同了瑪拿西支派。
英文原文
23. he took--rather "he had taken." This statement is accounting for his acquisition of so large a territory; he got it by right of conquest from the former possessors.
Kenath--This place, along with its group of surrounding villages, was gained by Nobah, one of Jair's officers sent by him to capture it
(Nu 32:1, 2).
All these belonged to the sons of Machir--In their number Jair is included as having completely identified himself by his marriage and residence in Gilead with the tribe of Manasseh.

(2Sa 14:2-4)。

and supposed to be the same as was afterwards called Beth-lehem-ephratah.
Ashur, the father of Tekoa--
(2Sa 14:2-4).

(1Ch 2:31)
就是一個；她之所以被特別提及，是因為接下來所要記的家務關係。
英文原文
34. Sheshan had no sons, but daughters--either he had no sons alive at his death, or his family consisted wholly of daughters, of whom Ahlai
(1Ch 2:31)
was one, she being specially mentioned on account of the domestic relations about to be noted.

35. 示珊將女兒給了僕人耶哈為妻——在東方國家，一個外邦奴僕在他所服侍的家族中被收養並通婚，決非罕見或奇特的事。然而有人認為，這樣的結合並未得到摩西律法的認可〔MICHAELIS〕。
但這個反對並不成立，因為猶太人的歷史提供了不少例子，表明外邦的歸信者以同樣的方式在以色列中獲得了產業；耶哈無疑先前已經放棄了他本國埃及那卑下的偶像崇拜，歸信了猶太教。在這樣的情況下，法律上便沒有任何難處。作為一個外邦奴僕，他沒有屬於別的支派的產業會因這結合而受損；而他與示珊女兒的婚姻，使他既被收納入猶大支派，又成為家族產業的繼承人。
英文原文
35. Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha his servant to wife--The adoption and marriage of a foreign slave in the family where he is serving, is far from being a rare or extraordinary occurrence in Eastern countries. It is thought, however, by some to have been a connection not sanctioned by the law of Moses [MICHAELIS]. But this is not a well-founded objection, as the history of the Jews furnishes not a few examples of foreign proselytes in the same manner obtaining an inheritance in Israel; and doubtless Jarha had previously embraced the Jewish faith in place of the grovelling idolatries of his native Egypt. In such a case, therefore, there could be no legal difficulty. Being a foreign slave, he had no inheritance in a different tribe to injure by this connection; while his marriage with Sheshan's daughter led to his adoption into the tribe of Judah, as well as his becoming heir of the family property.
