The three families mentioned in this verse (Tirathites, Shimathites and Sucathites) are taken by [[Jerome]] to be three different classes of religious functionaries - singers, scribes, recorders (" <i> canentes atque resonances et in tabernaculis commorantes </i> "). The [[Targum]] takes the same view, save that the "Sucathites" are those "covered" with a spirit of prophecy. Bertheau sees the Tirathites as "gate-keepers" (Aramaic תּרע , <i> '''''tera‛''''' </i> = Heb שׁער , <i> '''''sha‛ar''''' </i> ). Keil holds the three names to be those of the descendants of unknown men named Tira, Shemei and Sucah. The passage seems too obscure to admit of interpretation. </p> | ||
