4:17

Ezrah <05834> [Ezra.]

Ezra seems to be the person before called Asareel in ver. 16.

Mered's ....... Miriam <02029 04813> [and she bare Miriam.]

It is probable that the latter part of ver. 18 should be transposed before this passage, which Michaelis thinks is its right place; for otherwise we have the pronoun she without an antecedent, and children born without their father's being mentioned.

Eshtemoa <0851> [Eshtemoa.]

[Eshtemoh.]


4:18

Judahite <03057> [Jehudijah. or, the Jewess. the father <\\See definition 03057\\>.]

4:20

Shimon <07889> [Shimon.]

Shimon is supposed to have been another son of Mered, by Jehudijah. As this latter name signifies a Jewess, it rather favours the opinion that Bithiah was not a Jewess, but an Egyptian.

[Shiloni.]


4:23


4:24

descendants ... Simeon <01121 08095> [The sons of Simeon.]

This genealogy differs in many particulars from those in the parallel places; probably being occasioned by the same person's having several names.

[Jachin. Zerah.]

[Zohar.]

<03212> [they went.]

This expedition of the Simeonites took place in the days of Hezekiah, and, as Calmet conjectures, near the time of the captivity of the ten tribes; when the remnant of Simeon would feel themselves obliged to retire more southward into Arabia Petr‘a, for fear of the Jews, and to seek pasture for their flocks.

Gedor <01446> [Gedor.]
