Notes and References
"... Verses 2-5 record the sons of Japheth. LXX Genesis attributes eight sons to Japheth over against seven in the Masoretic text. The Septuagint of Genesis has Elisa inserted in fifth place, but the same name occurs in verse 4 as a son of louan. An F tradition omits the name thereby equaling the Masoretic text ..."
