Cross References
The Key Word — אוֹנָם, 'o.Namgenerated
The name אוֹנָם ('Onaam) means 'vigor' or 'strength'. It refers to two individuals in the Bible, one being an Edomite chief and the other an Israelite from the tribe of Judah. The name signifies vitality and is used to denote lineage and heritage in genealogical contexts.
As a proper noun, אוֹנָם is parsed as a masculine noun, indicating a specific individual rather than a common term. Its usage in genealogies highlights the importance of ancestry and the connections between families.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb governing the verse is וַיִּהְי֥וּ, and they were, which introduces the subject of the sentence: the sons of Onam. The structure follows with a noun phrase for the subject and another for the object, clearly delineating the relationships within the genealogy.
The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the names of the sons, with the verb coming first, indicating the introduction of these key figures in the lineage.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates אוֹנָם as οζομ, which reflects a direct rendering of the name without additional interpretation. This choice shows a straightforward approach to the genealogy, maintaining the focus on the individuals named.
The Greek word used does not carry additional connotations, indicating that the translators aimed to preserve the original meaning of the Hebrew names.

The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint agree in their wording for this verse, with all nine words matched in the Hebrew and Greek texts. This consistency highlights the reliability of the genealogical record across these traditions.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

(liberal). The eldest son of Aaron and Elisheba. Exod 8 13 Numb 3:2. (B.C. 1490.) He, his father and brother, and seventy old men of Israel were led out from the midst of the assembled people, (Exodus 24:1) and were commended to stay and worship God "afar off," below the lofty summit of Sinai, where Moses alone was to come near to the Lord. Subsequently, (Leviticus 10:1) Nadab and his brother were struck dead before the sanctuary by fire from the Lord. Their offence was kindling the incense in their censers with "strange" fire, i.e. not taken from that which burned perpetually, (Leviticus 6:13) on the altar. King Jeroboam’s son, who succeeded to the throne of Israel B.C. 954, and reigned two years. (
