1 Chronicles 6:43
the son of Jahath, the son of Gershom, the son of Levi.
BSB
ASV
the son of Jahath, the son of Gershom, the son of Levi.
KJV
The son of Jahath, the son of Gershom, the son of Levi.
Gershom, &c.--This repetition (see 1Ch 6:1) is made, as the historian here begins to trace the genealogy of the Levitical families who were not priests. The list is a long one, comprising the chiefs or heads of their several families until David's reign, who made a new and different classification of them by courses.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
