‏ 1 Chronicles 1:7

7 The sons ^{▼▼tn Or in this case, “descendants.”} of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites, and the Rodanites. ^{▼▼tc The Kethib has רוֹדָנִים (Rodanim), which probably refers to the island of Rhodes. The Qere has דּוֹדָנִים (Dodanim), which refers to one of the most ancient and revered locations in ancient Greece. The MT and most medieval Hebrew mss of the parallel list in Gen 10:4 read “Dodanim,” but a few have “Rodanim.”} ^{▼▼tn Heb “Kittim and Rodanim.”}
