THE TRIBE OF ASHER (1Chronicles 7:30-40). (30, 31) The sons of Asher; Imnah. . . . Malchiel.--This is a literal transcript of Genesis 46:17. Comp. also Numbers 26:44-46, where the clan (mishpahath) of each eponym is assigned; but the name of Isaah (Heb., Yishw?h) does not appear. Beriah.--Also the name of an Ephraimitic stock (1Chronicles 7:23). Malchiel is called the "father (chief or founder) of Birzavith" only here. The Heb. margin has Birzayith, perhaps "well of olive" (be-er zayith); the text, Berazoth or Barz-th. It is probably the name of a place. Verse 30. - The same four sons and one daughter of Asher are found in Genesis 46:17; but the name of the second son is wanting to the list of families descended from Asher of Numbers 26:44-47, and the name of the daughter is given by itself, and not as furnishing a family. 1 Chronicles 7:30 is more than a roster; it is a testament to God’s meticulous care for every person and promise. By naming Asher’s sons and Serah his daughter, Scripture confirms the historicity of Israel’s tribes, highlights the prophetic blessings spoken over Asher, and reminds us that each believer—male or female, prominent or obscure—finds a secure place in God’s unfolding redemptive plan.Parallel Commentaries ...
