Talk:Hakkoz

RFV discussion: May–June 2020
The page points to Ezra 2:61 ("... the children of Koz...") and 1 Chronicles 4:8 ("And Coz begate Anub..."). Is this referring to another translation, maybe? I found a mention in 1 Chronicles 24:10, but it seems like it refers to an individual ("The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah"), and I'm not sure if that works as a surname? I'm wondering if anyone has any insight into what was being pointed to originally. grendel|khan 06:28, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The Hebrew has for the Ezra passage,  for 1 Chr 4:8 and  for 1 Chr 24:10. To understand what's going on, you have to know that Hebrew has a prefix  which is the definite article. Apparently the translators of the KJV decided that the first syllable was the definite article and not part of the word. The Ancient Greek Septuagint translated Ezra as  and the Latin Vulgate as - in fact, I don't know of any other English translation that has only the one syllable.  I'm not very good with the fine points of Hebrew grammar when it comes to the article, so I'm not sure why it didn't end up as "children of the Cos". At any rate, there's no reason whatsoever to include 1 Chr 4:8, since it doesn't have the first syllable in the original or in any translation. It's also wrong to call this a surname- Biblical Hebrew didn't have surnames. The person who created the entry was very confused. Chuck Entz (talk) 08:16, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
