38 Questi, elencati per nome, erano capi nelle loro famiglie; i loro casati si estesero moltissimo.	38 These were the names of the leaders in their kindred. And they were multiplied greatly within the houses of their marriages.
39 Andarono verso l'ingresso di Ghedor fino a oriente della valle in cerca di pascoli per i loro greggi.	39 And they set out, so that they might enter into Gedor, as far as the eastern valley, and so that they might seek pastures for their flocks.
40 Trovarono pascoli pingui ed eccellenti; la regione era vasta in tutti i sensi, tranquilla e quieta, poiché quelli che vi abitavano prima erano i discendenti di Cam.	40 And they found fat and very good pastures, and a very wide and quiet and fruitful land, in which some from the stock of Ham had lived before.
41 Ma gli uomini elencati per nome, al tempo di Ezechia, re di Giuda, andarono a distruggere le loro tende e i Meuniti che si trovavano colà; li votarono a uno sterminio che dura fino ad oggi e si stabilirono al loro posto, perché ivi erano dei pascoli per i loro greggi.	41 So then, those whose names have been written above, went forth in the days of Hezekiah, the king of Judah. And they struck down the inhabitants who had been found there with their dwellings. And they wiped them out, even to the present day. And they lived in place of them, because they found very fat pastures there.
42 Alcuni di essi, fra i discendenti di Simeone, si recarono sulla montagna di Seir, cinquecento uomini a capo dei quali c'erano Pelatia, Nearia, Refaia e Uzziel, figli di Isei.	42 Also, some of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went away to mount Seir, having as leaders Pelatiah and Neariah and Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
