@ Ruth Ann, I've counted the names numerous times and come up with 34 minus Er and Onan makes 32. I cannot derive 33 souls with the names given in this chapter and I'm not counting Pharez twice. Please help me to understand how there are 33?

I'm stumped as well Mark, only commentary I can find is Coffman and he says 'it doesn't really matter' but it does! The only thought I have is that the verse states 'daughters' which is plural but I don't understand why the Bible would not make mention of one more name if there were 2 daughters instead of just Dinah. I would really like to know the answer to why the names only add up to 32 (you would deduct 2 from 34 for Er and Onan cause at that time their souls were not with them for God slew them in Canaan)

Mark, you probably counted Pharez twice. There's 33.

Something is wrong here. The verse states that all of the souls of his sons and daughters (by Leah) was 33. it is actually 34. it would add up to 33 if you did not count his daughter Dinah, but then why mention her by name and why say "of his sons and his daughters?"

GOD spoke to many people in visions and dreams, today he speak to us through HIS WORD the BIBLE.

Going to church on Sundays is fine for Fellowship, but we must remember to have a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with GOD, through OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST.

WE must STUDY GOD'S WORD, STUDY TO SHOW THYSELF APPROVED, RIGHTLY DISCERNING.

STUDY GOD'S WORD, and HE will speak to you through your SPIRIT.

OUR conscience either excuse or accuse.
