Commentary on Genesis 46:24

Theological / Devotional

The sons of Dan. Only one son of Dan is listed. The plural form “sons” is used as a stereotype phrase, whether one or several sons are named. Another example of this custom is v. 15, where the term “daughters” is used, although only one, Dinah, is mentioned. Hushim’s name is of uncertain meaning.
