Shelah; but it is not in the Greek Muscovite x. 23, and possessed the mountain of Masius translation; as is observed by primate Usher, in Mesopotamia; as Bochart thinks in his in his Letters, ccxcvi. (and see Bochart, in Phaleg., lib. ii., cap. 11. Though Mash his Phaleg., lib. ii., cap. 13). may very well be thought not to be another name, but only the contraction of Meshech: who some think was the father of the Cappadocians.

Pilkington.-Five sons of Shem are mentioned, Gen. x. 22, and four of Aram. But 1 Chron. i. 17, all the nine are said to be the filii, ex scripturâ, quam habet Sam. sons of Shem: It may be alleged indeed, Codex, parallelo loco Gen. x. 25, ubi Hod. that, grandsons are frequently called sons, Codex, undè mendum fuerit hùc in Scripture; yet this appears not to be fortè allatum, nisi ex 7, ut lego in uno the intention of the writer of Chronicles Codice, per litteram malè collocatam. here; but the difference to have been occasioned by the omission of .

six sons; (see Gen. xxxvi. 11, 12, and page 376:) so that there must be a mistake here. And yet, as the printed Hebrew text is, so is the present Greek version, Vatican edition, so the Syriac version, so the Latin, but not so the Arabic. For the Arabic version has here the true reading-And Timnah, which was the concubine of Eliphaz the son of Esau, bear him Amalek [so Lud. Cappel., phy Houb., Dathe]; and thus the Alexandrian copy of the Greek version - Θαμνα δε η παλλακη Ελιφαζ ετεκεν αυτη τον Αμαληκ.

Timna.

Pool.-Timna: there is another Timna, the concubine of Eliphaz, Gen. xxxvi. 12, but this was one of his sons, though called by the same name; there being some names common both to men and women in the Hebrew and in other languages.

Bp. Patrick. It is plain from Genesis xxxvi. 12, that Timnah was not one of his sons, but his concubine; by whom he begat Amalek. This, therefore, is a short form of speech, as much as if he had said, "Of Timnah Amalek." Who was not equal to the rest of his sons, and therefore he mentions his mother's name. Kimchi hath expressed this so well, that it may be for the reader's use to transcribe some of his words which may serve for a rule in such-like cases. "In my judgment (saith he) the Scripture uses here a concise and compendious way of speaking; for there was no need that Ezra should recount all these things exactly and accurately, which had been done before in the law (he means in the book of Genesis), therefore he describes these genealogies briefly." Thus he doth in the seventeenth verse of this

chapter, mentioning Uz and Hul after Aram who were not his sons but his grandsons. R. Solomon hath the same observation (see Buxtorf's Anticritica, par. ii., cap. 2).

Θαμνὰ δὲ ἡ παλλακὴ Ελιφὰς ἔτεκεν αυτῷ τὸν Aμaλýk, atque sic esse legendum liquet ex Gen. xxxvi. 12, ubi idem habetur totidem verbis in Hebræo. Et sane Thimna non fuit Eliphazi filia, sed vel uxor, vel pellex, vel concubina." Ex quo colligebat Lud. Cappellus, ex Genesi supplendum esse locum, quod et nos, interpretando, fecimus. Huic verò Cappellianæ criticæ favet interpres Arabs, qui sic habet, et Thamna erat concubina Eliphaz filii Esau, et peperit ei Amalecum.

Bp. Patrick. Some of the Jews fancy this Mezahab to have been a very ingenious woman, being the first that found out the art of drawing gold out into wires or threads: for zahab signifies gold in Hebrew. But the LXX take this for the name of a man, and translate it υἱοῦ Μαιζοώβ.
