19th centuryChurch Father

The descendants of Ana include Dishon. It is not a textual error that only the name of the son follows the phrase these sons. This reflects the simplicity inherent in the syllable. The author, having used the phrase these sons multiple times, chose to write it in this manner without concern for the grammatical inconsistency that follows.
