RASHI: Nu26-24a Nu26-13a Nu26-16a One tribe with 2 names VERY BRIEF SUMMARY Nu26 contains a list of the major branches of the 12 tribes.Gn46 also contains a listing of Jacobs children & their families. Thus these two chapters SHOULD contain the same major families. By ALIGNING the families in each chapter we infer how (i) certain families had two names and (ii) certain families had died. Here is a simple example --Gn46-10 SHIMONS SONS: yEMUEL YAMIN OHAD YACHIN TZOCHAR SHAUL --Nu26-13 SHIMONS SONS: nEMUEL YAMIN ---- YACHIN ZERACH- SHAUL Rashi infers that (a) OHAD had died (b) TZOCHAR & ZERACH are 2 names for this family (c) YEMUEL and NEMUEL were the same | ||||

| COMMENTS | ||||
*1 A blank in the last column indicates that the SAME NAME
is used in both chapters.
*2 Tzefon SOUNDS similar to Tzifyon.
These tribes were probably popularly called by both
names.
*3 The grandchildren that ARE mentioned by Jacob but
NOT by Moses probably referred to people who died
in the middle.
*4 We present here the tribes with 2 names and Rashis (or
my) explanation on why the 2 names mean the same thing
- Nu26-13a ZERACH=TZOCHAR. Rashi notes that the root ZERACH
and the root TZOHAR, phonetically similar to TZOCHAR both
mean BRIGHT and SHINING
- Nu26-24a YOV=YASHUV. Neither Rashi nor myself can explain
the similarity between these two roots
- Nu26-13a Nu26-16a*12
Rashi does NOT know why AZNI and ETZBON have the same
meaning. I would suggest the following
-- AZNI from OZEN, ear,means a GOOD LISTENER
-- ETZBON from TZVAH (Army) with the prefix ALEPH meaning
PERSON would refer to a SOLDIER (Army person)
-- So it seems reasonable that the SOLDIER & GOOD LISTENER
are two names for the same thing
