1 Chronicles 1:37The sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah.
The setting
Jerusalem, ~400 BC. A scribe carefully copies ancient records, preserving names of Esau's descendants in what is now southern Jordan...
The emotion here: reverent duty to preserve every name God deemed important
The original word
bānîm (בָּנִים) — sons, but also descendants and legacy carriers
Why it matters
Reuel was Esau's son, making these men Jacob's great-nephews
