Variations in Biblical Names

Commentators explain that the name 'Tarea' in this verse appears as 'Tahrea' in a parallel list in 1 Chronicles 9:41. This type of minor variation in spelling or pronunciation is common in biblical genealogies. Scholars note these are not contradictions but reflect the realities of ancient record-keeping and transmission. This helps explain why names can sometimes differ slightly between two accounts of the same family line.
