Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

no sons: Numbers 27:3, Numbers 27:4, Numbers 27:8

but daughters: Numbers 36:2, Numbers 36:10, Numbers 36:11

Jarha: i.e. increasing moon, [Strong's H3398], 1 Chronicles 2:35

and Sheshan had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Jarha; one born in his house, and brought up by him, and a proselyte, such an one as Eliezer in Abraham's family.
