Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:3] Judah's sons: Er, Onan, Shelon, three. They were born to him by Shua's daughter, the Canaanite woman. Er, Judah's firstborn, was evil before the Lord, and He killed him.

Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:10] Aram fathered Amminadab, and Amminadab fathered Naasson, ruler of Judah's house,

[2:11] Nahshon fathered Salma, and Salma fathered Boaz.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)

Verse 2:16 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:16] Their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. Zeruiah's sons were Abishai, Joab, and Asahel, three.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:16] Their sister: Zeruiah and Abigail. Zeruiah's sons were Abessa, Joab, and Asahel, three.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Greek uses singular sister before two names, against Hebrew's plural. The three sons and their count agree; the grammatical irregularity is retained.
Verse 2:17 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:17] Abigail bore Amasa. Amasa's father was Jether the Ishmaelite.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)

The descendants of Caleb and Hezron (2:18–24)
Verse 2:18 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:18] Caleb son of Hezron fathered Azubah-ishah and Jerioth. These were her sons: Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:18] Caleb son of Eseron fathered Gazouba, a wife, and Jerioth. These were her sons: Joasar, Sobab, and Orna.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: The Hebrew is provisionally construed with direct objects and the compound name Azubah-ishah; Greek explicitly has Gazouba, a wife. Jesher/Joasar and Ardon/Orna differ. The maternal antecedent remains uncertain. Rabbinic: The commentary presented as Rashi on 2:18 [R1] understands Azubah-ishah as a daughter named after Caleb's wife Azubah. This supports a direct-object construal; the alternative with-Azubah reading is not silently treated as certain.
Verse 2:19 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:19] Azubah died, and Caleb took Ephrath for himself. She bore him Hur.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)

[2:21] Afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of Machir, Gilead's father. He took her when he was sixty years old, and she bore him Segub.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:21] After these things Eseron went in to the daughter of Machir, Galaad's father. He took her when he was sixty years old, and she bore him Segub.
Classification & Notes
Same. Text: The kinship, sixty-year age, and son agree; the sexual-union idiom is retained without added marriage chronology.
Verse 2:22 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:22] Segub fathered Jair, who had twenty-three cities in Gilead's land.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:22] Segub fathered Jair. He had twenty-three cities in Galaad.
Classification & Notes
Same. Text: Both give Jair twenty-three cities in the same region.
Verse 2:23 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:23] Geshur and Aram took Jair's settlements from them, Kenath and its dependent towns, sixty cities. All these were sons of Machir, Gilead's father.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:23] Gedsour and Aram took Jair's villages from them, Kanath and its villages, sixty cities. All these belonged to the sons of Machir, Galaad's father.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew's concluding masculine statement identifies sons of Machir; Greek's feminine all these with genitive sons identifies the cities as their possession. Both retain sixty cities alongside the preceding twenty-three.
Verse 2:24 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:24] After Hezron died in Caleb-ephrathah, Hezron's wife Abijah bore him Ashhur, Tekoa's father.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:24] After Eseron died, Caleb came to Ephratha. Eseron's wife Abia bore him Aschod, Thekoe's father.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew locates Hezron's death in Caleb-ephrathah; Greek separately narrates Caleb's arrival in Ephratha. Ashhur/Aschod is also retained independently; the pronoun him is not expanded with a conjectured father.
Jerahmeel’s family (2:25–41)
Verse 2:25 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:25] The sons of Jerahmeel, Hezron's firstborn, were Ram the firstborn, Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:25] The sons of Jeremeel, Eseron's firstborn, were Ram the firstborn, Baana, Aran, and Asom his brother.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Greek has four names and a his-brother phrase where Hebrew includes Ahijah as a fifth name. The resulting list and relationship differ; the brother's antecedent is not supplied.
Verse 2:26 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:26] Jerahmeel had another wife, whose name was Atarah. She was Onam's mother.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)

Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:27] The sons of Ram, Jeremeel's firstborn, were Maas, Jamin, and Akor.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: The third name Eker/Akor differs; both identify Ram as firstborn and list three sons.
Verse 2:28 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:28] Onam's sons were Shammai and Jada. Shammai's sons were Nadab and Abishur.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:28] Ozom's sons were Samai and Jadae. Samai's sons were Nadab and Abisour.

Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:30] Nadab's sons: Salad and Apphaim. Salad died without children.
Classification & Notes

[2:31] Appaim's sons: Ishi. Ishi's sons: Sheshan. Sheshan's sons: Ahlai.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:31] Apphaim's sons: Isemiel. Isemiel's sons: Sosan. Sosan's sons: Achlai.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Ishi/Isemiel is a substantive name difference. Both preserve plural sons with a single entry at each generation.
Verse 2:32 Divergent
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:32] The sons of Jada, Shammai's brother: Jether and Jonathan. Jether died without sons.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:32] Jadae's sons: Achisamai, Jether, Jonathan. Jether died without children.
Classification & Notes
Divergent. Text: Greek lists Achisamai as a son where Hebrew describes Jada as Shammai's brother. It consequently has three sons rather than two; children also broadens Hebrew sons in the death notice.
Verse 2:33 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:33] Jonathan's sons: Peleth and Zaza. These were Jerahmeel's sons.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)

Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:34] Sosan had no sons, only daughters. Sosan had an Egyptian servant named Jochel,
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: The servant's name is Jarha/Jochel. Both explicitly restrict Sheshan's children to daughters; the preceding sons list is left alongside this statement without an invented reconciliation.
Verse 2:35 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:35] Sheshan gave his daughter to his servant Jarha as a wife, and she bore him Attai.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:35] and Sosan gave his daughter to his servant Jochel as a wife, and she bore him Eththi.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: The servant's distinct name continues; the marriage and birth correspond, with Attai/Eththi retained independently.
Verse 2:36 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:36] Attai fathered Nathan, and Nathan fathered Zabad.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:36] Eththi fathered Nathan, and Nathan fathered Zabed,
Classification & Notes
Same. Text: The two-generation sequence corresponds.
Verse 2:37 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:37] Zabad fathered Ephlal, and Ephlal fathered Obed.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:37] and Zabed fathered Aphalel, and Aphalel fathered Obed,
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Ephlal/Aphalel is the intervening ancestral name difference; both connect it to Obed.
Verse 2:38 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:38] Obed fathered Jehu, and Jehu fathered Azariah.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)

Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:42] The sons of Caleb, Jeremeel's brother: Marisa his firstborn, who was Ziph's father, and the sons of Marisa, Hebron's father.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Greek uses Marisa in both positions where Hebrew distinguishes Mesha and Mareshah. The compressed sons-of clause is preserved rather than filled with an unexpressed personal name.
Verse 2:43 Same
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:43] Hebron's sons: Korah, Tappuah, Rekem, and Shema.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)

Classification & Notes
Same. Text: The four-member list corresponds through the name forms.
Verse 2:44 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:44] Shema fathered Raham, Jorkeam's father, and Rekem fathered Shammai.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:44] Semaa fathered Raem, Jerkaan's father, and Jerkaan fathered Samai,
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: The father of Shammai is Rekem in Hebrew and Jerkaan in Greek, changing the stated parentage.
Verse 2:45 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:45] Shammai's son was Maon, and Maon was Beth-zur's father.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:45] and his son was Maon, and Maon was Baithsour's father.
Classification & Notes
Similar. Text: Greek uses his where Hebrew repeats Shammai. Father of a locality is retained without deciding whether it means founder or clan ancestor.
Verse 2:46 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:46] Ephah, Caleb's concubine, bore Haran, Moza, and Gazez. Haran fathered Gazez.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:46] Gaipha, Caleb's concubine, bore Arran, Mosa, and Gezoue. Arran fathered Gezoue.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: The source-specific forms Ephah/Gaipha and Gazez/Gezoue remain distinct. Both repeat the third son's name in the next generation.
Verse 2:47 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:47] Jahdai's sons: Regem, Jotham, Geshan, Pelet, Ephah, and Shaaph.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:47] Jadai's sons: Ragem, Jotham, Gersom, Phalet, Gaipha, and Sagaph.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Greek has Gersom where Hebrew has Geshan, along with Ephah/Gaipha. Both list six descendants.
Verse 2:48 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:48] From Caleb's concubine Maacah, he fathered Sheber and Tirhanah.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:48] Caleb's concubine Mocha bore Saber and Tharchna.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew uses a masculine birth verb and leaves the relationship to the preceding female designation compressed; the supplied from makes the provisional fathering construal explicit. Greek makes the concubine the birthing subject. Both name the same two children through their respective forms.
Verse 2:49 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:49] She bore Shaaph, Madmannah's father, and Sheva, Machbenah's father and Gibea's father. Caleb's daughter was Achsah.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:49] She bore Sagaph, Marmena's father, and Saou, Machabena's father and Gaibaa's father. Caleb's daughter was Ascha.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: The locality Madmannah/Marmena differs. Both retain the double father designation for the second man and identify Caleb's daughter.
Verse 2:50 Disparate
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:50] These were the sons of Caleb, son of Hur, Ephrathah's firstborn: Shobal, Kiriath-jearim's father,
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:50] These were Caleb's sons. The sons of Or, Ephratha's firstborn: Sobal, Kariathiarim's father,
Classification & Notes
Disparate. Text: Hebrew's displayed singular son of Hur attaches a parentage description to Caleb. Greek begins a new plural sons-of-Hur list after closing Caleb's list. The generational structure differs; no emendation or identification of every Caleb is imposed. Rabbinic: The commentary presented as Rashi on 2:50 [R1] offers either his son Hur or a second Caleb, Hur’s son. These are interpretive alternatives; the displayed singular/plural difference is preserved provisionally.
Verse 2:51 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:51] Salma, Bethlehem's father, and Hareph, Beth-gader's father.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:51] Solomon, Bethlehem's father, and Arim, Baithgedor's father.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Greek names Solomon and Arim where Hebrew has Salma and Hareph. Solomon is not automatically identified with the later king.
Verse 2:52 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:52] Shobal, Kiriath-jearim's father, had sons: Haroeh and half the Menuhoth.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:52] Sobal, Kariathiarim's father, had sons: Araa, Esi, Ammanith,
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Hebrew includes the phrase half the Menuhoth; Greek gives three names and continues the list into the next source unit. The difficult collective relationship remains provisional. Rabbinic: The commentary presented as Rashi on 2:52 [R1] understands ha-roeh as a ruler over half the Menuhoth region, rather than a personal name. The draft retains the name-list construal provisionally.
Verse 2:53 Divergent
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:53] The families of Kiriath-jearim were the Ithrite, the Puthite, the Shumathite, and the Mishraite. From these came the Zorathites and the Eshtaolites.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:53] Emospheos, the city of Jair, Aithalim, Miphithim, Hesamathim, and Hemasaraim. From these came the Sarathaians and the Esthaolaians.
Classification & Notes
Divergent. Text: Greek continues its preceding list with Emospheos and city of Jair rather than Hebrew's families of Kiriath-jearim introduction. Its family names also differ; the city's syntactic place in the list requires review. Both retain the two resulting groups.
Verse 2:54 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:54] Salma's sons: Bethlehem and the Netophathite, Atroth-beth-joab, half the Manahathite, the Zorite.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:54] Solomon's sons: Bethlehem, Netophathi, Ataroth of Joab's house, half the Manathi, Hesarei,
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: Salma/Solomon continues the name difference. Both retain the half-group expression; the compressed locality and clan relationships are not expanded into an unexpressed genealogy.
Verse 2:55 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[2:55] The families of scribes dwelling at Jabez: the Tirathites, Shimeathites, and Sucathites. These were the Kenites who came from Hammath, father of Rechab's house.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[2:55] the families of scribes dwelling at Jabes, Thargathiim, Samathiim, Sokathiim. These were the Kinaians who came from Mesema, father of Rechab's house.
Classification & Notes
Different. Text: The origin name is Hammath in Hebrew and Mesema in Greek. Greek's punctuation leaves the dwelling place and following clan names compressed; no added geographical identification is claimed.
