  Publisher text Rights & provenance

Exodus 6:22 and Leviticus 10:4 name a son of Uzziel Elzaphan, and Numbers 3:30 names one Elizaphan. Both editions write the names differently (엘사반 and 엘리사반, Elzaphan and Elizaphan), and the text does not say they are the same man. This collection records the Elzaphan of Leviticus 10:4 and the Elizaphan of Numbers 3:30 separately and does not decide whether they are the same man.
