Textual witnesses Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008).Würthwein 1995 35-37 There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BCE.

"The Adam Clarke Commentary". Study Light. Verse 4 Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.1 Chronicles 1:4 KJV KJV "Shem, Ham, and Japheth": these are the sons of Noah, and not successive generations, as can be read in the Book of Genesis (Genesis 5–10), which is apparently a source for the Books of Chronicles.Mathys 2007 269 These names are listed this way in Masoretic Text and Latin Vulgate, whereas the Greek Septuagint (LXX) adds "the sons of Noah" before "Shem,..."Note on 1 Chronicles 1:4 in NKJV Verse 6 And the sons of Gomer; Ashchenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.1 Chronicles 1:6 KJV KJV "Riphath": the same as in Genesis 10:3 9 (he רִיפַ֖ת), following many medieval Hebrew manuscripts, LXX and Vulgate, and used in some English translations (NAB, NIV, NLT, etc.), while others (ASV, NASB, NRSV, etc.) follow the Masoretic Text in using "Diphath" (he דִיפַ֖ת).Note on 1 Chronicles 1:6 in NET Bible The descendants of Abraham (1:28–54) This section focuses on the offsprings of Abraham (but none of his brothers').Mathys 2007 269 Verses 32–40 lists Abraham's sons other than Isaac and Ishmael with the direct connection to verse 28 and has been more extensively reworked than other genealogies in this chapter, whereas verses 43–54 contain an extensive reworking of Genesis 36 to list the descendants of Edom who are Judah's neighbors with 'the closest ties through the best and worst of times'.Mathys 2007 269 Verse 39 And the sons of Lotan; Hori, and Homam: and Timna was Lotan's sister.1 Chronicles 1:39 KJV KJV Cross reference: Genesis 36:22 9 "Timna": a daughter of Seir, who became a concubine to Eliphaz, the son of Esau, and the mother of Amalek (Genesis 36:12 9). Rashi states that the lineage of Timna was traced because she willingly wished to become a concubine to the seed of Abraham, saying, "If I am not worthy to marry him, I shall be his concubine." (Gen. Rabbah 84:14; Sanh. 99b Sanhedrin 99b. The William Davidson Talmud. Sefaria. Quote: "Timna sought to convert. She came before Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they did not accept her. She went and became a concubine of Eliphaz, son of Esau, and said, referring to herself: It is preferable that she will be a maidservant for this nation, and she will not be a noblewoman for another nation. Ultimately, Amalek, son of Eliphaz, emerged from her, and that tribe afflicted the Jewish people. What is the reason that the Jewish people were punished by suffering at the hand of Amalek? It is due to the fact that they should not have rejected her when she sought to convert. Therefore, the verse is significant.")Divrei Hayamim I - I Chronicles - Chapter 1.
