Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
SIJ 51: l wny bn ḥd bn ḫlṣ only. SIJ 53: w wgm ʿl ḥd bn whblh.
Commentary
Winnet reads w wgm etc. with SIJ 53. However this passge follows immediately after the genealogy of SIJ 51 and though in smaller letters is in the same type of script. By contrast not only is there a gap between the last name of SIJ 53 and w wgm etc. but the two are in different hands.
