1 Chronicles 1:41

Study note

Setting — The text functions as a genealogical entry positioned between the descendants of Zibeon and the lineages of Ezer and Dishan. It records a patriarchal succession without narrative framing or direct address.

The words — The Hebrew בְּנֵי (benei) appears twice to denote paternal descent, anchoring the list to עֲנָה (Anah) and his son דִישׁוֹן (Dishon). This term literally means "sons" and structures the verse as a direct biological record.

The thread — This entry cross-references Genesis 36:25, which also names Dishon as a son of Anah. The same ancestral node appears in parallel genealogical tables across the biblical record.

Why it lands — The verse presents a closed list of names without commentary, requiring the reader to track familial continuity across texts. It asks for precise recognition of lineage rather than narrative or theological development.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
