Becher Beker Bela Benjamin Jediael Jedi'a-el Sons
7:6 [The sons] of Benjamin; Bela, and Becher, and {d} Jediael, {e} three.
(d) Also called Ashbel, Ge 46:21, Nu 26:38.
(e) Who were the chief: or else there were seven in all as it appears in Ge 46:21.
7:6 Three - They were ten, Gen 46:25, and five of them are named, chap.1Ch 8:1, but here only three are mentioned, either because these were most eminent; or because the other families are now extinct.
7:1-40 Genealogies. - Here is no account either of Zebulun or Dan. We can assign no reason why they only should be omitted; but it is the disgrace of the tribe of Dan, that idolatry began in that colony which fixed in Laish, and called it Dan, Jud 18 and there one of the golden calves was set up by Jeroboam. Dan is omitted, Re 7. Men become abominable when they forsake the worship of the true God, for any creature object.
