The Greek reads :

For l^ptv in v. 27 of the Greek, A reads iKXrjpovo/xrjaev. (For 

 BaAaK it has BaAoa/x; this form stands in place of 0^7^^ of the 

 Hebrew text and corresponds to it. (Cp. BaAaaS in the Greek of 

 1 Chron. 7:29.) Evidently the initial * has been lost because the 

 final * of the preceding ^5^* confused the copyist. (Cp. the copy- 

 ist's error in the loss of the final * of '''21^*^ befoi-e ")11 in this same 

 verse.) Later, since the name Jibleam seemed to have been omitted 

 in this list, someone added it aj^tet' Megiddo, thus really repeating 

 the name for Jibleam and giving six instead of five towns'. For 

 TrepiOLKa 1°, A gives irepta-Tropui ', he omitS it 2°, 3°, 4°. ■^ iaTLV Skv^wv 

 TToAis is probably an interpretative comment by the translator, or 

 else a later gloss that has strayed into the text. 



Again in 1 Chron. 7 : 29 there appears a notice similar to and 

 doubtless derived from those in Josh. 17:11 and Judg. 1:27. In 

 his notices contained in chapters 4-7 concerning the genealogies, 

 history and military strength of the ti'ibes, the Chronicler in chap. 

 7: 14-29 groups together the two sons of Joseph. Verses 14-19 of 

 chapter 7 give the genealogy of Manasseh, while verses 20-27 trace 

 Ephraim's genealogy ; in verse 28 the cities on the southern border 

 of Ephraim are listed, while verse 29 gives the principal cities on 

 the northern border of Manasseh. Instead of mentioning all the 

 cities belonging to these tAvo tribes, the writer describes their com- 

 bined territories by naming those cities on the southern and north- 

 ern boundaries. In his enumeration of the towns on the north, 

 Dor is included (v. 29). 



' In the E)ic. Bib., Article "Dor," only four towns, viz., "Bethshean, 

 Ibleam, Megiddo and Dor,"' are mentioned in Judg. 1:27. Evidently the 

 omission of Taanach is an oversight.
