The sons of Israel.3. The posterity of Judah by Tamar. 13. The children of Jesse. 18. The posterity of Caleb the son of Hezron. 21. Hezron's posterity by the daughter of Machir. 25. Jerahmeel's posterity. 34. Sheshan's posterity. 42. Another branch of Caleb's posterity. 50. The posterity of Caleb the son of Hur. These were the sons of Israel: This phrase introduces the genealogy of the sons of Israel, also known as Jacob. Israel is a central figure in biblical history, and his sons are the patriarchs of the twelve tribes of Israel. The listing of these sons is significant as it sets the stage for understanding the division and inheritance of the Promised Land among the tribes. The genealogies in Chronicles emphasize the continuity of God's covenant with Israel and the importance of lineage in fulfilling God's promises. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Persons / Places / Events 1. Israel (Jacob)The patriarch whose name was changed to Israel. He is the father of the twelve tribes of Israel. 2. Reuben The firstborn son of Jacob and Leah. Known for losing his birthright due to misconduct. 3. Simeon The second son of Jacob and Leah. His descendants were known for their fierce nature. 4. Levi The third son of Jacob and Leah. The tribe of Levi was set apart for religious duties. 5. Judah The fourth son of Jacob and Leah. From his lineage came King David and ultimately Jesus Christ. 6. Issachar The fifth son of Jacob and Leah. His tribe was known for their understanding of the times. 7. Zebulun The sixth son of Jacob and Leah. His descendants were known for their maritime activities. Teaching Points Understanding Our HeritageRecognize the importance of spiritual heritage and how it shapes our identity in Christ. The Consequences of Actions Reflect on Reuben's loss of his birthright and the importance of living a life of integrity. God's Sovereign Choice Judah's prominence despite not being the firstborn illustrates God's sovereign choice and grace. Role of the Levites Consider the special calling of the Levites and how it parallels the priesthood of all believers today. Unity in Diversity The twelve tribes, though distinct, formed one nation. Similarly, the body of Christ is diverse yet unified.(1, 2) The sons of Israel.--The list is apparently taken from Genesis 35:23-26, where the heading is, "Now the sons of Jacob were twelve." The chronicler omits the mothers, and puts Dan before instead of after Joseph and Benjamin, as if to hint that Dan was considered Rachel's elder son. (See Genesis 30:6.) In the list at Genesis 46:9-23, Gad and Asher follow Zebulun, and Dan follows Joseph and Benjamin. Of course accident may have caused the transposition of Dan with Joseph and Benjamin in our list, especially as it otherwise agrees with Genesis 35:3-4. Verses 1, 2. - 1. TABLE OF ISRAEL'S TWELVE SONS. The twelve sons of Israel, not in the order of age (cf. Genesis 29:31-30:24; Genesis 35:16-19), nor exactly in the order of children of wives as against those of handmaids (Genesis 25:23-26), nor in that of the aged father's dying blessing (Genesis 49.), nor in that of Exodus 1:2-4. It is the place of Dan which disturbs the fittest order, and Keil suggests that his place in this text is accounted for by Rachel's desire that her handmaid's child should be accounted her own; but surely this was not exceptional, but applied to all or most of such cases, and should have been far rather taken into consideration in any of the other lists than in this. However accounted for, the order is - lest, the six sons of the first wife Leah; secondly, the elder son of Rachel's handmaid Bilhah; thirdly, the two sons of the loved wife Rachel; fourthly, the other son of Rachel's handmaid Billah; lastly, the two sons of Zilpah, handmaid of Leah. As this order corresponds with nothing in our Old Testament, it may serve as one slight indication that the compiler of Chronicles was not dependent on these records alone. The Hebrew text and the Septuagint accord exactly with the Authorized Version here. |
