1 Chronicles 26:22

Verse 22. Brethren. Hebrew and Septuagint “brother.” In effect, we find that Joel was the son of Leedan. Calmet. 23.—Zathan, whose name ends in m both in Hebrew and Septuagint may perhaps be his grandson. We often find sons in Hebrew when only one is specified. Jehieli might adopt his two brothers; so that none of his own children are mentioned. Bible.—We may also translate: “(21) These are the sons of Ledan, the Gersonite. Out of Ledan, the Gersonite, came chiefs of families: Jehiel, (22) the sons of Jehiel, Zathan and Joel, his (Jehiel’s) brethren, were over,” and so forth It appears that Jehiel was treasurer. Calmet. 29:8.
