The sons of Japhlet
This phrase introduces us to the descendants of Japhlet, a lesser-known figure in the genealogies of the tribes of Israel. The name "Japhlet" is derived from the Hebrew root "פָּלַט" (palat), meaning "to escape" or "to deliver." This could suggest a family history marked by deliverance or survival, possibly reflecting the broader narrative of Israel's deliverance by God throughout history. In the context of 1 Chronicles, genealogies serve to establish identity and continuity for the tribes of Israel, emphasizing God's faithfulness to His people.

Pasach
The name "Pasach" is intriguing, as it is derived from the Hebrew root "פָּסַח" (pasach), meaning "to pass over" or "to spare." This root is famously associated with the Passover, a pivotal event in Israel's history where God spared the Israelites during the final plague in Egypt. The inclusion of this name in the genealogy may serve as a reminder of God's mercy and protection, themes that resonate throughout the biblical narrative.

Bimhal
The name "Bimhal" is less clear in its etymology, but it may be related to the Hebrew word "בָּמָה" (bamah), meaning "high place" or "elevated." High places were often sites of worship in ancient Israel, both for the true God and for idols. This name could reflect a family heritage of religious significance or aspiration. In the broader biblical context, it serves as a reminder of the importance of worship and the need to direct it rightly towards God.

Ashvath
The name "Ashvath" is also somewhat obscure, but it may be connected to the Hebrew root "שָׁוָה" (shavah), meaning "to be equal" or "to resemble." This could imply a sense of balance or harmony within the family or tribe. In the biblical narrative, the idea of equality and justice is central to God's character and His expectations for His people, reminding us of the call to live in righteousness and fairness.

These were the sons of Japhlet
This concluding phrase reaffirms the familial lineage, emphasizing the continuity and identity of the tribe. In the context of 1 Chronicles, genealogies are not mere lists of names but are imbued with theological significance. They remind the reader of God's ongoing relationship with His people, His promises, and His faithfulness across generations. Each name carries a story, a legacy, and a connection to the divine narrative that unfolds throughout Scripture.

Verse 33. - Nothing, except what follows in the next verses, is known of the three sons of Japhlet given in this verse. In them we reach the fourth generation from Asher. The generations then travel forward through Helem, presumably a third brother of Japhlet, passing the sons of Shamer, or Shomer, presumably Japhlet's second brother.
