⁷ And the Bnei Chelah were Tzeret, and Yetzochar, and Etnan.

⁸ And Kotz fathered Anuv, and Tzovevah, and the mishpekhot of Acharchel Ben Harum.

⁹ And Yabetz was more honorable than his brethren; and immo (his mother) called shmo Yabetz, saying, Because I bore him beotzev (with sorrow).

¹⁰ And Yabetz called on Elohei Yisroel, saying, O that Thou wouldest put a barucha on me indeed, and enlarge my territory, and that Thine yad might be with me, and that Thou wouldest keep me from ra’ah, that it may not grieve me! And Elohim granted him that which he requested.

¹¹ And Keluv achi (brother of) Shuchah fathered Mechir avi Eshton.

¹² And Eshton fathered Beit Rapha, and Paseach, and Techinnah avi Ir Nachash. These are the anashim of Rechah.

¹³ And the Bnei Kenaz; Otniel, and Serayah; and the Bnei Otniel; Chatat.

¹⁴ And Meonotai fathered Ophrah; and Serayah fathered Yoav avi Gey Charashim; for they were charashim (craftsmen).

²¹ The Bnei Shelah Ben Yehudah were Er avi Lechah, and La’adah avi Mareshah, and the mishpekhot of the bais of them that were workers with fine linen, of the Bais Ashbe’a,

²² And Yokim, and the anashim of Chozeva, and Yoash, and Saraph who ruled in Moav, and Yashuvi Lechem. And these are ancient records.

²³ These were the yotzerim, (potters) and those that dwelt in Neta’im and Gederah; there they dwelt and worked for the melech.

²⁴ The Bnei Shim’on were Nemuel, and Yamin, Yariv, Zerach and Sha’ul;

²⁵ Shallum bno, Mivsam bno, Mishma bno.

²⁶ And the Bnei Mishma: Chamuel bno, Zakkur bno, Shimei bno.

²⁷ And Shimei had sixteen banim and six banot, but his brethren had not many banim, neither did all their mishpakhat multiply like the Bnei Yehudah.

²⁸ And they dwelt at Beer-Sheva, and Moladah, and Chatzar Shual,

²⁹ And at Bilhah, and at Etzem, and at Tolad,

³⁰ And at Betuel, and at Chormah, and at Tziklag,

³¹ And at Beit Marcavot, and Chatzar Susim, and at Beit Biri, and at Sha’arayim. These were their towns until the reign of Dovid.

³² And their villages were Etam, and Ayin, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, five towns;

³³ And all their villages were all around these towns as far as Baal. These were their settlements, and their genealogical records.

³⁴ And Meshovav, and Yamlech, and Yoshah Ben Amatzyah,

³⁵ And Yoel, and Yehu Ben Yoshivyah Ben Serayah Ben Asiel,

³⁶ And Elyo’enai, and Ya’akovah, and Yeshochayah, and Asayah, and Adiel, and Yesimiel, and Benayah,

³⁷ And Ziza Ben Shiphi Ben Allon Ben Yedayah Ben Shimri Ben Shema’yah.

³⁸ These listed by their shmot were nasi’im in their mishpekhot; and the bais of avoteihem increased greatly.

³⁹ And they went to the outlying area of Gedor, even unto the east side of the gey (valley), to seek mireh (pasture) for their tzon.

⁴⁰ And they found mireh fertile and tov, and ha’aretz was spacious, and quiet, and peaceful; for they of Cham had dwelt there of old.

⁴¹ And these listed by shemot came in the days of Chizkiyah Melech Yehudah, and attacked their ohalim, and the habitations that were found there, and destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their place, because there was mireh there for their tzon.

⁴² And some of them, even of the Bnei Shim’on, five hundred anashim, went to Har Seir, having for their leaders Pelatyah, and Nearyah, and Refayah, and Uzziel, the Bnei Yishi.

⁴³ And they struck the she’erit (remnant) of Amalek that were escaped, and dwelt there unto this day.

5 Now the Bnei Reuven the bechor Yisroel, for he was the bechor; but forasmuch as he defiled the bed of aviv, his bechorah (firstborn birthright) was given unto the Bnei Yosef Ben Yisroel, though [the latter was] not listed in the family registers as the bechorah.

² For Yehudah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the nagid; but the bechorah (portion of the firstborn) was Yosef’s.

³ The Bnei Reuven bechor Yisroel were Chanoch, and Pallu, Chetzron, and Carmi.

⁴ The Bnei Yoel: Shema’yah bno, Gog bno, Shimei bno,

⁵ Michah bno, Reayah bno, Ba’al bno,

⁶ Be’erah bno, whom Tilgat Pilneser Melech Ashur carried away into the Golus; he was nasi of the Reuveni.

⁷ And his relatives by their mishpekhot, when the genealogy of their toldot was reckoned, were the rosh, Ye’i’el, and Zecharyah,

⁸ And Bela Ben Azaz Ben Shema Ben Yoel who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nevo and Baal Meon;

⁹ And eastward he inhabited as far as the beginning of the midbar from the river Euphrates, because their mikneh (livestock) were multiplied in Eretz Gil’ad.

¹⁰ And in the days of Sha’ul they made milchamah with the Hagari’im, who fell by their yad; and they dwelt in their ohalim (tents) throughout all the area east of Gil’ad.

¹¹ And the Bnei Gad dwelt next to them, in the Eretz Bashan as far as Salchah;

¹² Yoel the rosh, and Shapham the mishneh (second), and Ya’nai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

¹³ And their achim of the bais avoteihem were Micha’el, and Meshullam, and Sheva, and Yorai, and Yakan, and Zia, and Ever, shivah (seven) in all.

¹⁴ These are the Bnei Avichayil Ben Churi Ben Yaroach Ben Gil’ad Ben Micha’el Ben Yeshishai Ben Yachdo Ben Buz.

¹⁵ Achi Ben Avdi’el Ben Guni was rosh of the bais avoteihem.

¹⁶ And they dwelt in Gil’ad in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the migrashim (open lands) of Sharon, within their borders.

¹⁷ All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Yotam Melech Yehudah, and in the days of Yarov’am Melech Yisroel.

¹⁸ The Bnei Reuven, and the Gadi, and half the shevet (tribe) of Menasheh, of bnei chayil, anashim able to bear mogen and cherev, and to shoot with keshet, and trained for milchamah, were four and forty elef seven hundred and threescore, that were ready for military service.

¹⁹ And they waged milchamah against the Hagari’im, with Yetur, and Naphish, and Nodav.

²⁰ And they were helped against them, and the Hagari’im were delivered into their yad, and all that were with them, for they cried to Elohim in the milchamah, and He was entreated of them [T.N. These genealogies establish the massively eyewitnessed veracity of the death and resurrection of Israel in and from the Golus.] because they put their trust in Him.

²¹ And they took away their mikneh: of their gemalim fifty elef, and of tzon two hundred and fifty elef, and of chamorim two thousand, and of nefesh adam a hundred elef.

²² For there fell down many slain, because the milchamah was Elohim’s. And they took up residence in their place until the Golus.

²³ And Bnei chatzi (half) shevet Menasheh dwelt in the land. They increased from Bashan unto Ba’al Chermon and Senir, and unto Har Chermon.

²⁴ And these were the heads of the bais avotam, even Epher, Yishi, Eliel, Azriel, Yirmeyah, and Hodavyah, and Yachdiel, anashim gibborei chayil, famous men, and heads of the bais avotam.

²⁵ And they transgressed against Elohei Avoteihem, and went a-whoring after the elohim of the peoples of the land, whom Elohim made shmad before them.

²⁶ And Elohei Yisroel stirred up the ruach of Pul Melech Ashur, and the ruach of Tilgat Pilneser Melech Ashur, and he carried them away into Golus, even the Reuveni, and the Gadi, and the half tribe of Menasheh, and brought them unto Chalach, and Chavor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.

6 After these things, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach departed beyond Lake Kinneret (Lake Tiberias).

² And a riezige (sizable) multitude was following him, because they were seeing the otot (miraculous signs) which he was doing on the cholim (the ones being ill).

³ And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up to the mountain, and there he was sitting with his talmidim.

⁴ Pesach was near at hand, the Chag (Jewish Feast).

⁵ Therefore, having lifted up his eyes, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw that a great multitude is coming to him, and he says to Philippos, From where may we buy lechem that these ones may eat?

⁶ But he was saying this to test Philippos, for he himself knew what he was about to do.

⁷ In reply, Philippos said, Two hundred denarii worth of lechem would not be enough that each one may take a little okhel.

⁸ One of his talmidim, Andrew, ach of Shimon Kefa, says to him,

⁹ There is a na’ar (lad) here who has five barley loaves and two dagim (fish), but what are these for so many? [2Kg 4:43]

¹⁰ Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Instruct the anashim (men) to recline. Now there was much grass in the area. Therefore the anashim reclined, their number being about chameshet alafim.

¹¹ Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach took the loaves and, having made the bracha, distributed to the ones bimesibba (reclining); likewise also he distributed of the dagim (fish) as much as they were wanting.

¹² Now when they were filled, he tells his talmidim, Gather the shirayim (Rebbe’s leftovers), that nothing may be lost.

¹³ Therefore, what they gathered from the five barley loaves filled Sheneym Asar (Twelve) baskets of shirayim left over by the ones having eaten.

¹⁴ Therefore, the anashim, having seen what ot (miraculous sign) he did, were saying, This one is beemes the Navi, Hu HaBah, the one coming into the Olam Hazeh. [DEVARIM 18:15,18]

¹⁵ Therefore, Yehoshua, having had da’as that they are about to come and to seize him that they might make him king by force, departed alone again to the mountain, withdrawing by himself.

¹⁶ And as erev came, his talmidim went down to the sea.

¹⁷ And having embarked into a sirah, they were going across the sea to K’far-Nachum. And choshech already had come and Yehoshua had not yet come to them.

¹⁸ And the sea, as a great wind blew, was becoming aroused.

¹⁹ Therefore, having rowed about esrim v’chamash or sheloshim stadia, they see Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach walking on the sea and coming near the sirah, and they were gefeirlich (horribly) frightened. [IYOV 9:8]

²⁰ But he says to them, Ani Hu. Do not be afraid.

²¹ Therefore, the talmidim were willing to receive him into the sirah. And immediately the sirah came to the shore to which they were going. [TEHILLIM 106:30 TARGUM HASHIVIM]
