2:44 Shema was the father of Raham, the father of Jorkeam. Rekem was the father of Shammai. 2:45 Shammai’s son was Maon, who was the father of Beth-Zur.

2:46 Caleb’s concubine ¹  Ephah bore Haran, Moza, and Gazez. Haran was the father of Gazez.

2:48 Caleb’s concubine Maacah bore Sheber and Tirhanah. 2:49 She also bore Shaaph the father of Madmannah and Sheva the father of Machbenah and Gibea. Caleb’s daughter was Achsah.

2:50 These were the descendants of Caleb.

The sons ²  of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrath: ³ 

Shobal, the father of Kiriath Jearim, 2:51 Salma, the father of Bethlehem, Hareph, the father of Beth-Gader.

2:52 The sons of Shobal, the father of Kiriath Jearim, were Haroeh, half of the Manahathites, ⁴  2:53 the clans of Kiriath Jearim – the Ithrites, Puthites, Shumathites, and Mishraites. (The Zorathites and Eshtaolites descended from these groups.) ⁵ 

2:54 The sons of Salma:

Bethlehem, the Netophathites, Atroth Beth-Joab, half the Manahathites, the Zorites, 2:55 and the clans of the scribes ⁶  who lived in Jabez: the Tirathites, Shimeathites, and Sucathites. These are the Kenites who descended ⁷  from Hammath, the father of Beth-Rechab. ⁸ 

[2:46]  ¹ sn See the note on the word “concubine” in 1:32.

[2:50]  ² tn Heb “son.” The Hebrew text has the singular, but the following list contains more than one name.

[2:50]  ³ tn The Hebrew text reads “Ephrathah” here, but see v. 19, which mentions “Ephrath” as the wife of Hur.

[2:52]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text has “Menuchites” here, but v. 54 has “Manachathites.”

[2:53]  ⁵ tn Heb “from these went forth the Zorathites and Eshtaolites.”

[2:55]  ⁶ tn Or perhaps “the Sopherim.” The NAB transliterates this term and treats it as a proper name.

[2:55]  ⁷ tn Heb “came.”

[2:55]  ⁸ tn Or (if בֵּית [beth] is translated as “house” rather than considered to be part of the name) “the father of the house [i.e., family] of Rechab.”
