1 Chronicles 7
1 Issachar’s four sons were Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron.
| וְלִבְנֵי יִשָּׂשכָר תּוֹלָע וּפוּאָה (ישיב) [יָשׁוּב] וְשִׁמְרוֹן אַרְבָּעָֽה׃ |
2 Tola’s sons were Uzzi, Rephaiah, Jeriel, Jahmai, Ibsam, and Samuel (OR, Shemuel). They were all leaders of the clans [descended from] them. In the record of Tola’s descendants were the names of 22,600 men who served in the army during the time that David was the king [of Israel].
| וּבְנֵי תוֹלָע עֻזִּי וּרְפָיָה וִירִיאֵל וְיַחְמַי וְיִבְשָׂם וּשְׁמוּאֵל רָאשִׁים לְבֵית־אֲבוֹתָם לְתוֹלָע גִּבּוֹרֵי חַיִל לְתֹלְדוֹתָם מִסְפָּרָם בִּימֵי דָוִיד עֶשְׂרִֽים־וּשְׁנַיִם אֶלֶף וְשֵׁשׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃ |

4 In the record of Izrahiah’s descendants were the names of 36,000 men who served in the army because they had many wives and children.
| וַעֲלֵיהֶם לְתֹלְדוֹתָם לְבֵית אֲבוֹתָם גְּדוּדֵי צְבָא מִלְחָמָה שְׁלֹשִׁים וְשִׁשָּׁה אָלֶף כִּי־הִרְבּוּ נָשִׁים וּבָנִֽים׃ |

9 In the records of the clans descended from Beker were the names of 20,200 men and leaders of the clans who served in the army.

11 They were all leaders of clans descended from them. There were 17,200 of them who served in the army.
| כׇּל־אֵלֶּה בְּנֵי יְדִֽיעֲאֵל לְרָאשֵׁי הָאָבוֹת גִּבּוֹרֵי חֲיָלִים שִׁבְעָה־עָשָׂר אֶלֶף וּמָאתַיִם יֹצְאֵי צָבָא לַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ |

| בְּנֵי מְנַשֶּׁה אַשְׂרִיאֵל אֲשֶׁר יָלָדָה פִּֽילַגְשׁוֹ הָֽאֲרַמִּיָּה יָלְדָה אֶת־מָכִיר אֲבִי גִלְעָֽד׃ |
15 Makir [had two wives]. They were from the clans of Huppim and Shuppim. One of Makir’s wives was named Maacah. Another descendant [of Makir] was Zelophehad. Zelophehad [had no sons; he] had only daughters.
| וּמָכִיר לָקַח אִשָּׁה לְחֻפִּים וּלְשֻׁפִּים וְשֵׁם אֲחֹתוֹ מַֽעֲכָה וְשֵׁם הַשֵּׁנִי צְלׇפְחָד וַתִּהְיֶנָה לִצְלׇפְחָד בָּנֽוֹת׃ |
16 Makir’s wife Maacah gave birth to two sons whom she named Peresh and Sheresh. Sheresh’s sons were Ulam and Rakem.
| וַתֵּלֶד מַעֲכָה אֵֽשֶׁת־מָכִיר בֵּן וַתִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ פֶּרֶשׁ וְשֵׁם אָחִיו שָׁרֶשׁ וּבָנָיו אוּלָם וָרָֽקֶם׃ |

21 Tahath’s son was Zabad. Zabad’s son was Shuthelah. [Ephraim’s other sons, ] Ezer and Elead, went to Gath [city] to steal some cows and sheep. But they were both killed by some of the men from that city.
| וְזָבָד בְּנוֹ וְשׁוּתֶלַח בְּנוֹ וְעֵזֶר וְאֶלְעָד וַהֲרָגוּם אַנְשֵׁי־גַת הַנּוֹלָדִים בָּאָרֶץ כִּי יָֽרְדוּ לָקַחַת אֶת־מִקְנֵיהֶֽם׃ |
22 Their father Ephraim cried/mourned for them for many days, and his family came to comfort him.
| וַיִּתְאַבֵּל אֶפְרַיִם אֲבִיהֶם יָמִים רַבִּים וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶחָיו לְנַחֲמֽוֹ׃ |
23 Then he and his wife had sex [EUP] [again], and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Ephraim named him Beriah [which resembles the word ‘trouble’, ] because of the trouble that his family had experienced.
| וַיָּבֹא אֶל־אִשְׁתּוֹ וַתַּהַר וַתֵּלֶד בֵּן וַיִּקְרָא אֶת־שְׁמוֹ בְּרִיעָה כִּי בְרָעָה הָיְתָה בְּבֵיתֽוֹ׃ |
