2 These are the sons of (A)Israel: (B)Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, (C)Issachar, Zebulun, 2 (D)Dan, (E)Joseph, (F)Benjamin, (G)Naphtali, (H)Gad, and Asher. 3 (I)The sons of Judah: (J)Er, Onan and Shelah; these three Bath-shua the Canaanite bore to him. Now Er, Judah's firstborn, was evil in the sight of the Lord, and he put him to death. 4 His daughter-in-law (K)Tamar also bore him Perez and Zerah. Judah had five sons in all.

5 The (L)sons of Perez: Hezron and Hamul. 6 The sons of Zerah: Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara, five in all. 7 The son[a] of Carmi: Achan, the troubler of Israel, who (M)broke faith in the matter of the devoted thing; 8 and Ethan's son was Azariah.

9 The sons of Hezron that were born to him: Jerahmeel, (N)Ram, and (O)Chelubai. 10 (P)Ram fathered Amminadab, and (Q)Amminadab fathered (R)Nahshon, prince of the sons of Judah. 11 Nahshon fathered (S)Salmon,[b] Salmon fathered (T)Boaz, 12 Boaz fathered Obed, (U)Obed fathered Jesse. 13 (V)Jesse fathered Eliab his firstborn, Abinadab the second, (W)Shimea the third, 14 Nethanel the fourth, Raddai the fifth, 15 Ozem the sixth, (X)David the seventh. 16 And their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. (Y)The sons of Zeruiah: Abishai, Joab, and Asahel, three. 17 (Z)Abigail bore Amasa, and the father of Amasa was (AA)Jether the Ishmaelite.

18 (AB)Caleb the son of Hezron fathered children by his wife Azubah, and by Jerioth; and these were her sons: Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon. 19 When Azubah died, (AC)Caleb married (AD)Ephrath, who bore him (AE)Hur. 20 Hur fathered Uri, and Uri fathered (AF)Bezalel.

21 Afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of (AG)Machir the father of Gilead, whom he married when he was sixty years old, and she bore him Segub. 22 And Segub fathered Jair, who had twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead. 23 (AH)But Geshur and Aram took from them Havvoth-jair, Kenath, and its villages, sixty towns. All these were descendants of Machir, the father of Gilead. 24 After the death of Hezron, (AI)Caleb went in to Ephrathah,[c] the wife of Hezron his father, and she bore him (AJ)Ashhur, the father of Tekoa.

25 The sons of (AK)Jerahmeel, the firstborn of Hezron: Ram, his firstborn, Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah. 26 Jerahmeel also had another wife, whose name was Atarah; she was the mother of Onam. 27 The sons of Ram, the firstborn of Jerahmeel: Maaz, Jamin, and Eker. 28 The sons of Onam: Shammai and Jada. The sons of Shammai: Nadab and Abishur. 29 The name of Abishur's wife was Abihail, and she bore him Ahban and Molid. 30 The sons of Nadab: Seled and Appaim; and Seled died childless. 31 The son[d] of Appaim: Ishi. (AL)The son of Ishi: Sheshan. The son of Sheshan: Ahlai. 32 The sons of Jada, Shammai's brother: Jether and Jonathan; and Jether died childless. 33 The sons of Jonathan: Peleth and Zaza. These were the descendants of Jerahmeel. 34 Now Sheshan had no sons, only daughters, but Sheshan had an Egyptian slave whose name was Jarha. 35 So Sheshan gave his daughter in marriage to Jarha his slave, and she bore him Attai. 36 Attai fathered Nathan, and Nathan fathered (AM)Zabad. 37 (AN)Zabad fathered Ephlal, and Ephlal fathered (AO)Obed. 38 Obed fathered Jehu, and Jehu fathered Azariah. 39 Azariah fathered Helez, and Helez fathered Eleasah. 40 Eleasah fathered Sismai, and Sismai fathered Shallum. 41 Shallum fathered Jekamiah, and Jekamiah fathered (AP)Elishama.

42 The sons of (AQ)Caleb the brother of Jerahmeel: Mareshah[e] his firstborn, who fathered Ziph. The son[f] of Mareshah: (AR)Hebron.[g] 43 The sons of Hebron: Korah, Tappuah, Rekem and Shema. 44 Shema fathered Raham, the father of Jorkeam; and Rekem fathered Shammai. 45 The son of Shammai: Maon; and Maon fathered Beth-zur. 46 Ephah also, Caleb's concubine, bore Haran, Moza, and Gazez; and Haran fathered Gazez. 47 The sons of Jahdai: Regem, Jotham, Geshan, Pelet, Ephah, and Shaaph. 48 Maacah, Caleb's concubine, bore Sheber and Tirhanah. 49 She also bore Shaaph the father of Madmannah, Sheva the father of Machbenah and the father of Gibea; and the (AS)daughter of Caleb was Achsah. 50 These were the descendants of Caleb.

The sons[h] of Hur the firstborn of (AT)Ephrathah: Shobal the father of Kiriath-jearim, 51 (AU)Salma, the father of Bethlehem, and Hareph the father of Beth-gader. 52 Shobal the father of Kiriath-jearim had other sons: (AV)Haroeh, half of the Menuhoth. 53 And the clans of Kiriath-jearim: the Ithrites, the Puthites, the Shumathites, and the Mishraites; from these came the (AW)Zorathites and the Eshtaolites. 54 The sons of Salma: Bethlehem, the Netophathites, Atroth-beth-joab and half of the Manahathites, the Zorites. 55 The clans also of the scribes who lived at Jabez: the Tirathites, the Shimeathites and the Sucathites. These are the (AX)Kenites who came from Hammath, the father of (AY)the house of Rechab.

Les descendants de Juda

3 Juda eut trois fils, de sa femme cananéenne, la fille de Shoua : Er, Onân, Shéla. Er, le fils aîné de Juda, était jugé mauvais par l’Eternel qui le fit mourir. 4 Tamar, la belle-fille de Juda, lui donna Pérets et Zérah[b]. Juda eut donc en tout cinq fils.

6 Fils de Zérah : Zimri, Etân, Hémân, Kalkol et Darda[c], cinq en tout.

7 Fils de Karmi : Akar[d] (Trouble), qui fut cause de désordre en Israël lorsqu’il commit une infidélité à l’égard de ce qui était voué à l’Eternel.

8 Fils d’Etân : Azaria.

9 Fils de Hetsrôn[e] : Yerahméel, Ram et Keloubaï[f].

10 Ram eut pour fils Amminadab, qui eut pour fils Nahshôn, chef des descendants de Juda. 11 Nahshôn eut pour fils Salma, qui eut pour fils Booz, 12 qui eut pour fils Obed, qui eut pour fils Isaï. 13 Isaï[g] eut pour fils : Eliab, son aîné, Abinadab, son deuxième, Shimea, son troisième. 14 Netanéel, son quatrième, Raddaï, son cinquième, 15 Otsem son sixième, et David son septième. 16 Leurs sœurs étaient Tserouya et Abigaïl.

18 Caleb, fils de Hetsrôn, eut de sa femme Azouba une fille, Yerioth, et trois fils, Yésher, Shobab et Ardôn. 19 Azouba mourut, et Caleb prit pour femme Ephrath, qui lui donna Hour. 20 Hour eut pour fils Ouri, et Ouri Betsaléel. 21 Ensuite, alors qu’il avait soixante ans, Hetsrôn s’unit à la fille de Makir, le père de Galaad, et l’épousa. Elle lui donna Segoub. 22 Segoub eut pour fils Yaïr, qui posséda vingt-trois villes dans le pays de Galaad[h]. 23 Mais les Gueshouriens et les Syriens prirent de ses descendants les bourgs de Yaïr ainsi que la ville de Qenath et les villes qui en dépendaient, ce qui faisait en tout soixante villes. Tous ceux qui y habitaient étaient des descendants de Makir, le père de Galaad.

24 Après la mort de Hetsrôn à Caleb-Ephrata, Abiya, sa femme, donna encore naissance à un fils de lui : Ashhour, le père[i] de Teqoa. 25 Les fils de Yerahméel, premier-né de Hetsrôn, furent : Ram, l’aîné, Bouna, Orên, Otsem et Ahiya.

Séled mourut sans enfant. 31 Fils d’Appaïm : Yisheï qui fut le père de Shéshân. Shéshân fut le père de Ahlaï. 32 Fils de Yada, frère de Shammaï : Yéter et Jonathan. Yéter mourut sans enfant. 33 Fils de Jonathan : Péleth et Zaza. Ce sont là les descendants de Yerahméel.

34 Shéshân n’avait pas de fils, il n’avait que des filles. Il avait un esclave égyptien nommé Yarha 35 à qui il donna l’une de ses filles pour femme ; celle-ci lui donna Attaï. 36 Attaï fut le père de Nathan, Nathan celui de Zabad, 37 Zabad d’Ephlal, Ephlal d’Obed, 38 Obed de Jéhu, Jéhu d’Azaria, 39 Azaria de Hélets, Hélets d’Elasa, 40 Elasa de Sismaï, Sismaï de Shalloum, 41 Shalloum de Yeqamia, Yeqamia d’Elishama.

Réqem fut le père de Shammaï. 45 Shammaï eut pour fils Maôn, le père de Beth-Tsour. 46 Epha, épouse de second rang de Caleb, lui donna Harân, Motsa et Gazez. Harân fut le père de Gazez. 47 Fils de Yahdaï : Réguém, Yotam, Guéshân, Péleth, Epha et Shaaph. 48 Maaka, une autre épouse de second rang de Caleb, lui donna Shéber et Tirhana. 49 Plus tard, elle donna encore naissance à Shaaph, le père de Madmanna, et à Sheva, le père de Makbéna et de Guibéa. De plus, Caleb avait une fille nommée Aksa. 50 Tels furent les descendants de Caleb.

Fils de Hour : le premier-né de son épouse Ephrata, Shobal, père de Qiryath-Yearim, 51 Salma, père de Bethléhem et Hareph, celui de Beth-Gader. 52 Shobal, le père de Qiryath-Yearim eut des fils : Haroé et Hatsi-Hammenouhoth. 53 Les familles de Qiryath-Yearim furent : les Yétériens, les Poutiens, les Shoumatiens et les Mishraïens ; de celles-là sont sortis les Tsoreatiens et les Eshtaoliens. 54 Descendants de Salma : les habitants de Bethléhem, de Netopha, d’Atroth-Beth-Joab, d’Hatsi-Hammanahti et de Tsoreïa 55 ainsi que les familles des gens instruits habitant à Yaebets, les Tireatiens, les Shimeatiens et les Soukkatiens.
