Verse 35
"And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning. And his father wept for him."
"And all his sons and daughters ..." The name of only one of Jacob's daughters, that of Dinah, is given in the O.T., but this passage seems to indicate that there were others whose names were not given. None of the names of Jesus' sisters were given (Matthew 13:56), and this could be a similar thing here. Willis commented that "daughters" here "is a generic term and can mean one person or several, depending on the passage."[19] Leupold thought it means "daughters-in-law, and daughters born after Dinah."[20] The question, however, has more interest than importance.
