The Greek reads :

For c^pcv in v. 27 of the Greek, A reads iKXrjpovofirja-ev. (For 

 BaAttK it has BaXaa/w,; this form stands in place of Di^75! ^^ ^^^ 

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

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

 iinal ^ of the preceding ^5^' confused the copyist. (Cp. the copy- 

 ist's error in the loss of the final * of OtJ^^ before *)1*1 in this same 

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

 in this list, someone added it afte?' Megiddo, thus really repeating 

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

 TrepLoiKa 1°, A gives 7r€pL(nr6puL ', he omits it 2°, 3°, 4°. ^ co-Ttv %Kv6it)v 

 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 tribes, 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 two 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 Enc. 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.
