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 main clause of the verse is led by the phrase בְּנֵ֣י הֵימָ֡ן, the sons of Heman, which serves as the subject. The structure is straightforward, listing the names of Heman's sons as a series of noun phrases.
The order of names emphasizes the familial relationships and roles within the Levitical music ministry, with each name following the introduction of Heman's lineage.

The translation suggests continuity in the recognition of Heman's significance, as the name carries the same connotation of faithfulness in both languages.

(faithful) Son of Zerah. (1 Chronicles 2:6; 1 Kings 4:31) Son of Joel and grandson of Samuel the prophet, a Kohathite. He is called "the singer," rather the musician, (1 Chronicles 6:33) and was the first of the three Levites to whom was committed the vocal and instrumental music of the temple service in the reign of David. (1 Chronicles 15:16-22) The 88th Psalm is ascribed to him. (B.C. 1014.)
