1 Chronicles 1:5

1:5 The sons of Japheth:

Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

1 Chronicles 1:7

1:7 The sons ¹  of Javan:

Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites, and the Rodanites. ² 

¹ tn Or in this case, “descendants.”

² tc The Kethiv has “Rodanim,” which probably refers to the island of Rhodes. The Qere has “Dodanim,” which refers to one of the most ancient and revered locations in ancient Greece. The MT and most medieval Hebrew mss of the parallel list in Gen 10:4 read “Dodanim,” but a few have “Rodanim.”
