1 Chronicles 1:17

Shem’s Descendants

1:17 The sons of Shem:

Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.

The sons of Aram: ¹ 

Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshech. ² 

1 Chronicles 19:14

19:14 So Joab and his men ³  marched toward the Arameans to do battle, and they fled before him.

¹ tc The words “the sons of Aram” do not appear in the Hebrew text. Apparently the phrase וּבְנֵי אֲרָם (uvÿney ’aram) has accidentally dropped out of the text by homoioteleuton (note the presence of אֲרָם just before this). The phrase is included in Gen 10:23.

² tc The MT of the parallel geneaology in Gen 10:23 reads “Mash,” but the LXX there reads “Meshech” in agreement with 1 Chr 1:17.

³ tn Heb “and the army which was with him.”
