1:29 These were their descendants:
Ishmael’s firstborn son was Nebaioth; the others were 1 Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
9:44 Azel had six sons: Azrikam his firstborn, 2 followed by Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan. These were the sons of Azel.
1 tn The words “the others were” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
2 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.
