- Ashurites:
- The LXX read τον Θασιρι, Thasiri; and the Vulgate Gessuri, "Geshurites;" but it is probable that for ashuri, "Ashurites," we should read ashairi, "Asherites," or those of the tribe of Asher. "And Leahª said,ª° Happy¹ am I,² for¹ the daughtersª will call me blessed:ª° and she calledª°¹ his nameª Asher.ª" {Gen 30:13} + "Of the childrenª of Asher,ª by their generations,ª after their families,ª by the houseª of their fathers,ª according to the numberª of the names,ª from twentyª yearsª oldª¹ and upward,ª all¹ that were able to go forthª° to war;ª" {Num 1:40}
