1 Chronicles 1:12

1:12 Pathrusites, Casluhites (from whom the Philistines descended ⁶ ), and the Caphtorites.

[13:8]  ¹ tn Heb “with all strength.”

[13:8]  ² tn Heb “with songs and with zithers [meaning uncertain] and with harps.” Due to the collocation with “harps,” some type of stringed instrument is probably in view.

[15:22]  ³ tn Heb “and Kenaniah, the leader of the Levites, with lifting up, supervising with lifting up, for he was well-informed.” The precise nuance of מַשָּׂא (masa’, “lifting up”) is unclear. Some understand it as a reference to supervising the singing and music (e.g., NIV: “Kenaniah…was in charge of the singing”; NEB: “Kenaniah…was precentor in charge of the music”).

[25:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “and their number with their brothers, trained in music to the Lord, all skilled, was 288.”

[25:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “the sons of Asaph [were] upon the hand of Asaph, the one prophesying upon the hands of the king.”

[1:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “came forth.”
