Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Imnah: This variation only exists in the translation; the original being uniformly Jimnah, or Yimnah. Genesis 46:17, Numbers 26:44-46, Jimnah

Ishuai: This variation is also attributable to the translator; the Hebrew being in both places Isui, or rather, Yishwi. Genesis 46:17, Isui

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ver. 30,31. The son of Asher,.... Which, and his two grandsons born before Jacob went down to Egypt, are here reckoned as in Genesis 46:17 only it is here added Malchiel his second grandson,

who is the father of Birzavith; which Jarchi interprets, prince of a city of this name, which signifies pure oil; which it might have from the abundance of olives about it, Asher being a tribe which abounded with them, see Deuteronomy 33:24 though some of the Rabbins take it to be the name of a man, whose daughters, they say, as Jarchi observes, were very beautiful, having much oil to anoint with, and were married to kings and priests anointed with oil.
