Genesis 46:16

Context

46:16 The sons of Gad:

Zephon, 1  Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.

Genesis 49:19

Context

49:19 Gad will be raided by marauding bands,

but he will attack them at their heels. 2 

1 tc The MT reads “Ziphion,” but see Num 26:15, the Samaritan Pentateuch and the LXX, all of which read “Zephon.”

2 tc Heb “heel.” The MT has suffered from misdivision at this point. The initial mem on the first word in the next verse should probably be taken as a plural ending on the word “heel.”

sn In Hebrew the name Gad (גָּד, gad ) sounds like the words translated “raided” (יְגוּדֶנּוּ, yÿgudennu) and “marauding bands” (גְּדוּד, gÿdud).
