30 The sons of Asher: Imnah and Ishvah and Ishvi and Beriah and Serah, their sister. 31 And the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel, who was the father of Birzaith. 32 And Heber was the father of Japhlet and Shomer and Hotham and Shua, their sister. 33 And the sons of Japhlet: Pasach and Bimhal and Ashvath. These are the sons of Japhlet. 34 And the sons of Shomer: Ahi and Rohgah, Jehubbah and Aram. 35 And the sons of Hotham, his brother: Zophah and Imna and Shelesh and Amal. 36 The sons of Zophah: Suah and Harnepher and Shual and Beri and Imrah, 37 Bezer and Hod and Shamma and Shilshah and Ithran and Beera. 38 And the sons of Jether: Jephunneh and Pispah and Ara. 39 And the sons of Ulla: Arah and Hanniel and Rizia. 40 All these were the children of Asher, heads of their families, specially strong men of war, chiefs of the rulers. They were recorded in the army for war, twenty-six thousand men in number.
