1 Chronicles 7:18, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
This verse sits inside the genealogy of Manasseh, one of Joseph's sons, in the Chronicler's survey of Israel's tribes. Gilead here is a clan name traced through Machir, and the "sister" named Hammolecheth is likely a female clan ancestor whose line is remembered alongside the male heads of families.
