Translation commentary on Genesis 46:16

Verses 16-18 list the descendants of Zilpah, Leah’s maid.

Ziphion is spelled “Zephon” in Good News Translation, which is the spelling in the src Samaritan Pentateuchsrc*, the Septuagint, and the Hebrew of Num 26.15. “Zephon” is also recommended by Hebrew Old Testament Text Project.
