Genesis 10

Finally a verse that is apparently corrupt in some way. The music indicates a stop in what would be an unusual place, right in the middle of a verbless subject-predicate. The traditional translations ignore the accents, putting the second word of the verse at the very end of it, i.e. unable to make sense of each half-verse alone. And who was whose older brother? 1 Chronicles 1 leaves this one out. Several verses are identical in 1 Chronicles. I see a name change Eival to Oval, simply a yod/vav confusion.

I have been experimenting with names. Sometimes I think it is good to translate them, sometimes to use traditional spelling, and sometimes to use an automated transcription (a little too simple, so occasionally tweaked). No one remembers most of these 95% of the hundreds of names. I don't know what my final decisions will be. They will have to wait till I have more done. In the meanwhile, I don't want too much distraction.
