1 Chronicles7:12

12 Shuppim also and Huppim , the children of Ir, and Hushim, the sons of Aher .

Called Muppim and Huppim, Gen. 46. 21. also Hupham and Shupham, Numb. 26. 39.

But divers take the Hebrew word [illegible: 1 word] for a Common, not Proper, Name, and render the words thus, [illegible: 1+ letters]uther son, or the son of another Family or Tribe, to wit, of Dan, as may be gathered 1. from Gen. 46. 23. where Hushim is mentioned as the onely Son of Dan, where also the word sons is used of that one Man, as it is here. 2. From the Clause of the next Verse, the sons of Bilhah, who was Mother both to Dan and Napthali. 3. Because otherwise the Genealogy of Dan is quite left out. 4. From the word another, which is used in the Hebrew Writers to design an Abominable thing which the Writer disdained to mention; whence they call a Swine, which to him was a very unclean and loathsome Creature, another thing. And it must be remembred that the Tribe of Dan had made themselves and their Memory Infamous and Detestable by that gross Idolatry, which began first and continued longest in that Tribe, Iudg. 18. For which reason many Interpreters conceive this Tribe is omitted in the numbring of the sealed Persons, Rev. 7.

Marginal references: [illegible: 1 word]. 1.; [illegible: 1 word], [illegible: 1 word], [illegible: 1 word]. 16. 18.
