Genesis 46:13
The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puvah, Job, and Shimron.
BSB
ASV
And the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Puvah, and Iob, and Shimron.
KJV
And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.
And the sons of Issachar, Tola, and Phuvah; and Job, and Shimron. The first of these was the father of a numerous race in the days of David, their number was 22,600; See Gill on 1Ch 7:2; the second is called Puah, and the third Jashub, and the fourth Shimrom, 1Ch 7:1; and were all the heads of families, as appears from the places referred to.
In the speech of Stephen (Ac 7:14) the number is stated to be seventy-five; but as that estimate includes five sons of Ephraim and Manasseh (1Ch 7:14-20), born in Egypt, the two accounts coincide.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
