And the sons of Zebulun, Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel. Whose names are the same in Numbers 26:26 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 46:15

These are the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram ,.... Which must be restrained to the six sons only, who were properly Leah's, and not to their sons' sons, for they were not born in Padanaram, but in Canaan: with his daughter Dinah ; who also was by Leah: all the souls of his sons and daughters were thirty and three ; that is, together with himself, or otherwise it will be difficult to give the exact number; if all before mentioned are to be reckoned there will... read more

And the sons of Gad ,.... A son of Jacob by Zilpah, Leah's maid; for the historian, before he proceeds to give an account of his sons by Rachel, finishes the account of all his sons by Leah and her maid: Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, and Eri, and Arodi, and Areli ; in all seven; the same number is given, and in the same order, Numbers 26:15 . read more

And the sons of Asher ,.... Another son of Jacob by Leah's maid Zilpah, whose sons were: Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister ; who is called Sarah, Numbers 26:46 , and by the Septuagint here. She seems to have been a person of some note, being so particularly remarked in both places: and the sons of Beriah, Heber and Malchiel ; this Beriah seems to be the youngest son of Asher, and yet had two sons; who, as the Targum of Jonathan adds, went down into... read more

These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter ,.... To be her maid, when she was married to Jacob, by whom he had Gad and Asher: and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls ; not that Zilpah bare sixteen children to Jacob, for she bore but two; but the children and grandchildren of these two with them made sixteen. read more

The sons Rachel, Jacob's wife ,.... The wife of his affection and choice, his principal wife, yea, his only lawful wife; Zilpah and Bilhah were his concubines, and as for Leah, she was imposed and forced upon him: Joseph and Benjamin ; the first was in Egypt already, the other now went down with Jacob. read more

And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim ,.... And therefore not to be reckoned with those that went down with Jacob thither; for which reason the clause, "in the land of Egypt", is inserted, see Genesis 41:50 , which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah, priest of On, bare unto him ; here again the Targum of Jonathan makes Asenath to be the daughter of Dinah, who it says was educated in the house of Potipherah prince of Tanis; See Gill on Genesis 41:50 . read more

And the sons of Benjamin ,.... The second son of Jacob by his wife Rachel; whose sons were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh , Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard ; in all one hundred and ten. It is a difficulty to account for it, that Benjamin, Jacob's youngest son, often called a lad at this time, and generally supposed to be about twenty three or four years of age, should have so many sons: some think he had more wives than one, which is not likely, since we... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 46:23

And the sons of Dan, Hushim. He had but one son, wherefore the plural is put for the singular, see Genesis 46:7 ; Aben Ezra thinks he had two sons, and that one of them was dead, and therefore not mentioned; but the other way best accounts for the expression; though, as Schmidt observes, the plural may be indefinitely put, and the sense be this, as for the sons of Dan, there was only one, whose name was Hushim. Dan was a son of Jacob by Bilhah, Rachel's maid, as the following was another. read more
