A Carefully Restored Text

Commentators like Albert Barnes and Charles Ellicott point out that the original Hebrew text of this verse appears to be incomplete. Translators have carefully restored it by referencing a parallel list in 1 Chronicles 23:19, adding the words 'of Hebron' and 'the first' for clarity. This highlights the meticulous work that goes into providing an accurate and readable Bible.
