¹ tn The words “the others were” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

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

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

⁴ tn The word “son” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied.

⁵ tc The Hebrew text has בֹּכְרוּ (bokhÿru), which some understand as a name: “Bocheru” (so, e.g., NEB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). But the form should probably be revocalized בְֹּכרוֹ (bÿkhoro, “his firstborn”). A name has accidentally dropped from the list, and a scribe apparently read בֹּכְרוּ as one of the names. Cf. also 1 Chr 8:38.
