The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states that Moza was the father of Binea, and lists Raphah, Eleasah, and Azel as his descendants. The Septuagint largely agrees with the Masoretic Text, matching 9 of the 10 words, although the specific wording and order may differ due to translation choices. There are no significant differences noted in the Samaritan Pentateuch or the Dead Sea Scrolls for this verse, indicating a strong consistency across these ancient witnesses.
