1 The sons of Israel were Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issachar, Zabulon, 2 Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Nephthali, Gad and Aser. 3 Juda had three sons by the Chanaanitess Suë, Her, Onan and Sela; Her, his first-born, displeased the Lord by his evil life, and the Lord slew him. 4 Then Juda had two more sons by his own daughter-in-law Thamar, Phares and Zara; so he was father of five sons in all. 5 From Phares came Hesron and Hamul, 6 from Zara Zamri, Ethan, Heman, Chalcol and Dara, five in all ….[1] 7 From Charmi came Achar, who brought trouble on Israel by his sin in stealing the plunder that was forfeit. 8 From Ethan came Azarias, 9 from Hesron, Jerameel, Ram and Calubi; 10 from Ram, Aminadab, and from Aminadab Nahasson, that was chieftain of the tribe of Juda. 11 From Nahasson came Salmon, from Salmon, Booz, 12 from Booz, Obed, and from Obed, Jesse.

1 Filii autem Israël: Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issachar, et Zabulon, 2 Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Nephthali, Gad, et Aser. 3 Filii Juda: Her, Onan, et Sela: hi tres nati sunt ei de filia Sue Chananitide. Fuit autem Her primogenitus Juda malus coram Domino, et occidit eum. 4 Thamar autem nurus ejus peperit ei Phares et Zara: omnes ergo filii Juda, quinque. 5 Filii autem Phares: Hesron et Hamul. 6 Filii quoque Zaræ: Zamri, et Ethan, et Eman, Chalchal quoque, et Dara, simul quinque. 7 Filii Charmi: Achar, qui turbavit Israël, et peccavit in furto anathematis. 8 Filii Ethan: Azarias. 9 Filii autem Hesron qui nati sunt ei: Jerameel, et Ram, et Calubi. 10 Porro Ram genuit Aminadab. Aminadab autem genuit Nahasson, principem filiorum Juda. 11 Nahasson quoque genuit Salma, de quo ortus est Booz. 12 Booz vero genuit Obed, qui et ipse genuit Isai.

13 καὶ Ιεσσαι ἐγέννησεν τὸν πρωτότοκον αὐτοῦ Ελιαβ Αμιναδαβ ὁ δεύτερος Σαμαα ὁ τρίτος 14 Ναθαναηλ ὁ τέταρτος Ραδδαι ὁ πέμπτος 15 Ασομ ὁ ἕκτος Δαυιδ ὁ ἕβδομος 16 καὶ ἀδελφὴ αὐτῶν Σαρουια καὶ Αβιγαια καὶ υἱοὶ Σαρουια Αβεσσα καὶ Ιωαβ καὶ Ασαηλ τρεῖς 17 καὶ Αβιγαια ἐγέννησεν τὸν Αμεσσα καὶ πατὴρ Αμεσσα Ιοθορ ὁ Ισμαηλίτης

13 The name of Jesse’s first-born was Eliab; the second son was called Abinadab, the third Simmaa, 14 the fourth Nathanael, the fifth Raddai, 15 the sixth Asom; and David was the seventh. 16 They had two sisters, Sarvia and Abigail; Sarvia was the mother of three sons, Abisai, Joab and Asael, 17 and Abigail bore Amasa to Jether the Ismahelite.

13 Isai autem genuit primogenitum Eliab, secundum Abinadab, tertium Simmaa, 14 quartum Nathanaël, quintum Raddai, 15 sextum Asom, septimum David. 16 Quorum sorores fuerunt Sarvia et Abigail. Filii Sarviæ: Abisai, Joab, et Asaël, tres. 17 Abigail autem genuit Amasa, cujus pater fuit Jether Ismahelites.

18 καὶ Χαλεβ υἱὸς Εσερων ἐγέννησεν τὴν Γαζουβα γυναῖκα καὶ τὴν Ιεριωθ καὶ οὗτοι υἱοὶ αὐτῆς Ιωασαρ καὶ Σωβαβ καὶ Ορνα 19 καὶ ἀπέθανεν Γαζουβα καὶ ἔλαβεν ἑαυτῷ Χαλεβ τὴν Εφραθ καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ τὸν Ωρ 20 καὶ Ωρ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ουρι καὶ Ουρι ἐγέννησεν τὸν Βεσελεηλ 21 καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰσῆλθεν Εσερων πρὸς τὴν θυγατέρα Μαχιρ πατρὸς Γαλααδ καὶ οὗτος ἔλαβεν αὐτήν καὶ αὐτὸς ἑξήκοντα ἦν ἐτῶν καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ τὸν Σεγουβ 22 καὶ Σεγουβ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ιαϊρ καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ εἴκοσι τρεῖς πόλεις ἐν τῇ Γαλααδ 23 καὶ ἔλαβεν Γεδσουρ καὶ Αραμ τὰς κώμας Ιαϊρ ἐξ αὐτῶν τὴν Καναθ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς ἑξήκοντα πόλεις πᾶσαι αὗται υἱῶν Μαχιρ πατρὸς Γαλααδ 24 καὶ μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Εσερων ἦλθεν Χαλεβ εἰς Εφραθα καὶ ἡ γυνὴ Εσερων Αβια καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ τὸν Ασχωδ πατέρα Θεκωε

18 (From Hesron’s son Caleb, through Azuba and Jerioth, came Jaser, Sobab and Ardon. 19 On Azuba’s death Caleb married Ephratha and begot Hur, 20 father of Uri, father of Bezeleel. 21 Hesron, at the age of sixty, took a second wife, the daughter of Machir, from whom came Galaad; and she bore him a son called Segub, 22 father of that Jair who occupied twenty-three townships in Galaad, 23 took Gessur, Aram, Jair’s Villages, and Canath with its sixty townships ….[2] All these were sons of Machir, father of Galaad. 24 It was after Hesron’s death that Caleb mated with Ephratha. Hesron had another wife called Abia, that bore him a son, Ashur, father of Thecua.[3])

18 Caleb vero filius Hesron accepit uxorem nomine Azuba, de qua genuit Jerioth: fueruntque filii ejus Jaser, et Sobab, et Ardon. 19 Cumque mortua fuisset Azuba, accepit uxorem Caleb Ephratha, quæ peperit ei Hur. 20 Porro Hur genuit Uri, et Uri genuit Bezeleel. 21 Post hæc ingressus est Hesron ad filiam Machir patris Galaad, et accepit eam cum esset annorum sexaginta: quæ peperit ei Segub. 22 Sed et Segub genuit Jair, et possedit viginti tres civitates in terra Galaad. 23 Cepitque Gessur et Aram oppida Jair, et Canath, et viculos ejus sexaginta civitatum: omnes isti filii Machir patris Galaad. 24 Cum autem mortuus esset Hesron, ingressus est Caleb ad Ephratha. Habuit quoque Hesron uxorem Abia, quæ peperit ei Assur patrem Thecuæ.

25 καὶ ἦσαν υἱοὶ Ιερεμεηλ πρωτοτόκου Εσερων ὁ πρωτότοκος Ραμ καὶ Βαανα καὶ Αραν καὶ Ασομ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ 26 καὶ ἦν γυνὴ ἑτέρα τῷ Ιερεμεηλ καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῇ Αταρα αὕτη ἐστὶν μήτηρ Οζομ 27 καὶ ἦσαν υἱοὶ Ραμ πρωτοτόκου Ιερεμεηλ Μαας καὶ Ιαμιν καὶ Ακορ 28 καὶ ἦσαν υἱοὶ Οζομ Σαμαι καὶ Ιαδαε καὶ υἱοὶ Σαμαι Ναδαβ καὶ Αβισουρ 29 καὶ ὄνομα τῆς γυναικὸς Αβισουρ Αβιχαιλ καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ τὸν Αχαβαρ καὶ τὸν Μωλιδ 30 υἱοὶ Ναδαβ Σαλαδ καὶ Αφφαιμ καὶ ἀπέθανεν Σαλαδ οὐκ ἔχων τέκνα 31 καὶ υἱοὶ Αφφαιμ Ισεμιηλ καὶ υἱοὶ Ισεμιηλ Σωσαν καὶ υἱοὶ Σωσαν Αχλαι 32 καὶ υἱοὶ Ιαδαε Αχισαμαι Ιεθερ Ιωναθαν καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ιεθερ οὐκ ἔχων τέκνα 33 καὶ υἱοὶ Ιωναθαν Φαλεθ καὶ Οζαζα οὗτοι ἦσαν υἱοὶ Ιερεμεηλ

25 The sons of Hesron’s eldest son Jerameel were called Ram, Buna, Aram, Asom and Achia; 26 by his second wife Atara he begot Onam. 27 And Jerameel’s eldest son Ram was father of Moös, Jamin and Achar. 28 From Onam came Semei and Jada; from Semei, Nadab and Abisur; 29 from Abisur, by his wife Abihail, Ahobban and Molid; 30 from Nadab, Saled (who died without issue) and Apphaim; 31 from Apphaim, Jesi, from Jesi, Sesan, from Sesan, Oholai. 32 From Semei’s brother Jada came Jether (who died without issue) and Jonathan; 33 from Jonathan, Phaleth and Ziza. Such were the descendants of Jerameel.

25 Nati sunt autem filii Jerameel primogeniti Hesron, Ram primogenitus ejus, et Buna, et Aram, et Asom, et Achia. 26 Duxit quoque uxorem alteram Jerameel, nomine Atara, quæ fuit mater Onam. 27 Sed et filii Ram primogeniti Jerameel fuerunt Moos, Jamin, et Achar. 28 Onam autem habuit filios Semei et Jada. Filii autem Semei: Nadab et Abisur. 29 Nomen vero uxoris Abisur, Abihail, quæ peperit ei Ahobban et Molid. 30 Filii autem Nadab fuerunt Saled et Apphaim. Mortuus est autem Saled absque liberis. 31 Filius vero Apphaim, Jesi: qui Jesi genuit Sesan. Porro Sesan genuit Oholai. 32 Filii autem Jada fratris Semei: Jether, et Jonathan. Sed et Jether mortuus est absque liberis. 33 Porro Jonathan genuit Phaleth, et Ziza. Isti fuerunt filii Jerameel.

34 καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν τῷ Σωσαν υἱοί ἀλ{L'} ἢ θυγατέρες καὶ τῷ Σωσαν παῖς Αἰγύπτιος καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ιωχηλ 35 καὶ ἔδωκεν Σωσαν τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ τῷ Ιωχηλ παιδὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς γυναῖκα καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ τὸν Εθθι 36 καὶ Εθθι ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ναθαν καὶ Ναθαν ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ζαβεδ 37 καὶ Ζαβεδ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Αφαληλ καὶ Αφαληλ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ωβηδ 38 καὶ Ωβηδ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ιηου καὶ Ιηου ἐγέννησεν τὸν Αζαριαν 39 καὶ Αζαριας ἐγέννησεν τὸν Χελλης καὶ Χελλης ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ελεασα 40 καὶ Ελεασα ἐγέννησεν τὸν Σοσομαι καὶ Σοσομαι ἐγέννησεν τὸν Σαλουμ 41 καὶ Σαλουμ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ιεχεμιαν καὶ Ιεχεμιας ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ελισαμα

34 Sesan died without male issue, and it was to an Egyptian servant of his, Jeraa, 35 that he gave his daughter in marriage; she bore him Ethei. 36 From Ethei, through Nathan, Zabad, 37 Ophlal, Obed, 38 Jehu, Azarias, 39 Helles, Elasa, 40 Sisamoi, Sellum 41 and Icamia came Elisama.

34 Sesan autem non habuit filios, sed filias: et servum ægyptium nomine Jeraa. 35 Deditque ei filiam suam uxorem: quæ peperit ei Ethei. 36 Ethei autem genuit Nathan, et Nathan genuit Zabad. 37 Zabad quoque genuit Ophlal, et Ophlal genuit Obed. 38 Obed genuit Jehu, Jehu genuit Azariam, 39 Azarias genuit Helles, et Helles genuit Elasa. 40 Elasa genuit Sisamoi, Sisamoi genuit Sellum, 41 Sellum genuit Icamiam, Icamia autem genuit Elisama.

42 Jerameel’s brother Caleb had a son called Mesa, father of Ziph, and another son called Maresa, father of Hebron. 43 From Hebron came Core, Thaphua, Recem and Samma; 44 from Samma, through Raham, Jercaam, and from Recem, through Sammai 45 and Maon, Bethsur. 46 By his concubine Epha, Caleb was the father of Haran, Mosa and Gezez; Haran also had a son called Gezez; 47 this Epha was a daughter of Johaddai, whose other children were Regom, Joathan, Gesan, Phalet, Epha and Saaph. 48 By his concubine Maacha, Caleb was father of Saber and Tharana; 49 (also of Saaph, father of Madmena, Suë, father of Machbena, and the father of Gabaa). Caleb’s daughter was called Achsa.

50 οὗτοι ἦσαν υἱοὶ Χαλεβ υἱοὶ Ωρ πρωτοτόκου Εφραθα Σωβαλ πατὴρ Καριαθιαριμ 51 Σαλωμων πατὴρ Βαιθλαεμ Αριμ πατὴρ Βαιθγεδωρ 52 καὶ ἦσαν υἱοὶ τῷ Σωβαλ πατρὶ Καριαθιαριμ Αραα Εσι Αμμανιθ 53 Εμοσφεως πόλις Ιαϊρ Αιθαλιμ καὶ Μιφιθιμ καὶ Ησαμαθιμ καὶ Ημασαραϊμ ἐκ τούτων ἐξήλθοσαν οἱ Σαραθαῖοι καὶ οἱ Εσθαωλαῖοι 54 υἱοὶ Σαλωμων Βαιθλαεμ Νετωφαθι Αταρωθ οἴκου Ιωαβ καὶ ἥμισυ τῆς Μαναθι Ησαρεϊ 55 πατριαὶ γραμματέων κατοικοῦντες Ιαβες Θαργαθιιμ Σαμαθιιμ Σωκαθιιμ οὗτοι οἱ Κιναῖοι οἱ ἐλθόντες ἐκ Μεσημα πατρὸς οἴκου Ρηχαβ

50 (Hur, the first-born of Ephrata, had a son called Caleb; from him, through Sobal, comes Cariathiarim, 51 through Salma, Bethlehem, and through Hariph, Bethgader. 52 From Sobal, besides Cariathiarim, comes Haroe, part of the Manahathites; 53 and the Jethrites, Aphuthites, Semathites and Maserites are also connected with Cariathiarim; the Saraites and Esthaolites derive from these. 54 From Salma, besides Bethlehem, come the Netophathites, Ataroth, Beth-Joab, and the Saraites who are the other half of the Manahatthites; 55 the clans, too, of the Sopherites at Jabes, the Tirathites, Simeathites, and Suchathites. These were Cinites that came from Emath, father of the family of Rechab.[4])

50 Hi erant filii Caleb, filii Hur primogeniti Ephratha, Sobal pater Cariathiarim. 51 Salma pater Bethlehem, Hariph pater Bethgader. 52 Fuerunt autem filii Sobal patris Cariathiarim, qui videbat dimidium requietionum. 53 Et de cognatione Cariathiarim, Jethrei, et Aphuthei, et Semathei, et Maserei. Ex his egressi sunt Saraitæ, et Esthaolitæ. 54 Filii Salma, Bethlehem, et Netophathi, coronæ domus Joab, et dimidium requietionis Sarai: 55 cognationes quoque scribarum habitantium in Jabes, canentes atque resonantes, et in tabernaculis commorantes. Hi sunt Cinæi, qui venerunt de Calore patris domus Rechab.

[1] It seems probable that some words have fallen out here, giving the parentage of Charmi; see Jos. 7.1.

[2] Here, too, it is probable that part of the original text has been mutilated.

[3] v. 24. ‘Father’ perhaps means founder of Thecua; so elsewhere with place-names in these chapters.

[4] Much of this chapter is obscure and of uncertain interpretation, especially those passages which are included in brackets. The interpretation of verses 50-55 can only be guess-work; it seems clear that the geographical distribution of the various clans in Juda is the main topic under discussion. No attempt has been made here to follow the Latin where it renders as common nouns what are almost certainly meant to be proper names. The last sentence of the chapter is particularly obscure, and has not been sufficiently explained.
