These were his sons, heads of fathers’ houses: If the referent for the pronoun his is unclear, it may be helpful to follow the model of Parola Del Signore: La Bibbia in Lingua Corrente for this sentence, which reads “These are the heads of families descended from Shaharaim.” God’s Word adopts a similar solution: “All of Shaharaim’s sons became heads of families.” For heads of fathers’ houses, see the comments on 1 Chr 5.24.
