Descendants from Tira, one of the three scribe families residing at Jabez (1Ch 2:55). The other two were sprung from Shimea and Suchah. The Vulgate translation is not tenable, Tirathites (“the singers”), Shimeathites (“those repeating in song what they have heard”), and the Suchathites (“dwellers in tents”).<\/p>\n
TIRATHITES.A family of scribes (1Ch 2:55).<\/p>\n
trath-ts (, tirathm; Codex Vaticanus and Codex Alexandrinus, , Argathiem; Lucian, , Tharathe: A family of scribes that dwelt at Jabez (1Ch 2:55). 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 (canentes atque resonances et in tabernaculis commorantes). 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 , tera = Heb , shaar). 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>\n
