- 1 Chronicles 1:5 Some of these proper names are the names both of individuals and of the ethnic groups derived from them.

- 1 Chronicles 1:6 Variant Ripath. In Hebrew script the equivalents of d and r look very much alike.
- 1 Chronicles 1:7 Even though they are called sons, the names ending in -im refer to groups of people rather than to individuals. Generally in narrative contexts this -im ending is translated as -ites. Here we keep some of the -im endings to reflect the structure and nature of the genealogies.
- 1 Chronicles 1:7 Variant Dodanim. The Hebrew equivalents of d and r look very much alike in Hebrew script.
