2:6 The sons of Zerah:

Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Kalkol, Dara 2  – five in all.

1 tn Heb “his”; the referent (Judah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tc Many medieval Hebrew mss, some LXX mss, and Syriac read “Darda” (see 1 Kgs 4:31 ET = 1 Kgs 5:11 HT).

3 tn Heb “sons.” The Hebrew text has the plural, but only one son is listed.

4 tc The Hebrew text has “Achar,” which means “disaster,” but a few medieval Hebrew mss read “Achan.” See Josh 7:1.

5 tn Heb “the troubler of Israel who was unfaithful with respect to the devoted [things].”
