Die Söhne Simeons: Nemuel und Jamin, Jarib, Serach, Saul;
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
The sons of Simeon: This genealogy differs in many particulars from those in the parallel places; probably being occasioned by the same person's having several names.
Nemuel: Genesis 46:10, Exodus 6:15, Jemuel
Jarib: Numbers 26:12-14, Jachin
Zerah: Genesis 46:10, Zohar
Reciprocal: Genesis 49:7 - I will divide
Gill's Notes on the Bible
The sons of Simeon,.... The account of whom, next to the tribe of Judah, is given before Reuben, because its inheritance lay in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 19:1 his sons were Nemuel, the same with Jemuel, Genesis 46:10
and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul; who, in the place referred to, is said to be the son of a Canaanitish woman; and Jarib and Zerah are the same with Jachin and Zohar there: and Obed is here omitted, it may be because he died without issue; see Numbers 26:12.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Chronicles 4:24. The sons of Simeon — This genealogy is very different from that given in Genesis 46:10, and Numbers 26:12. This may be occasioned by the same person having several names, one list taking one name, another list some other, and so on: to reconcile is impossible; to attempt it, useless.
