1 Chronicles 7:36The sons of Zophah: Suah, and Harnepher, and Shual, and Beri, and Imrah,
The setting
Jerusalem, ~400 BC. A Levitical scribe meticulously records tribal genealogies from ancient records to restore Israel's identity after Babylonian exile...
The emotion here: reverent determination to preserve what was almost lost
The original word
bānîm (בָּנִים) — sons, but implies continuation of family line and inheritance
Why it matters
These genealogies were compiled from records that survived the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC
Read with care
