In these dwelt the children of Joseph the son of Israel.30The sons of Asher; Imnah, and Isuah, and Ishuai, and Beriah, and Serah their sister.31And the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel, who is the father of Birzavith.32And Heber begat Japhlet, and Shomer, and Hotham, and Shua their sister.33And the sons of Japhlet; Pasach, and Bimhal, and Ashvath. These are the children of Japhlet.34And the sons of Shamer; Ahi, and Rohgah, Jehubbah, and Aram.35And the sons of his brother Helem; Zophah, and Imna, and Shelesh, and Amal.36The sons of Zophah; Suah, and Harnepher, and Shual, and Beri, and Imrah,37Bezer, and Hod, and Shamma, and Shilshah, and Ithran, and Beera.38And the sons of Jether; Jephunneh, and Pispah, and Ara.39And the sons of Ulla; Arah, and Haniel, and Rezia.40All these were the children of Asher, heads of their father’s house, choice and mighty men of valour, chief of the princes.
