King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.
THE KEY
The list’s hinge is “came out”: distinct clan names emerge from one shared place and people.
THE MEANING
Your identity can hold both distinction and shared origin: this verse names several clans while tracing them to one place and people. Belonging branches outward without erasing the names of each branch.
THE ROOT
יָצְאוּ
yats'u
GROWS FROM
יצא
To go out, come forth, emerge.
English “came” can sound like arrival, but יָצְאוּ means “they went out” or “came forth.” The verse pictures named clans issuing from a shared source, making genealogy a movement outward rather than a static roll call.
ALSO GROWS
yetzi'ah: Going out, departure.
יְצִיאָה
This noun carries the same movement as “came out”: descendants go forth from their source.
motsa: An outlet or point of emergence.
מוֹצָא
This branch can name where something issues from, echoing the verse’s movement from a shared origin into distinct clans.
THE PATTERN
Distinct peoples can branch outward from shared ancestry while retaining their own names.
These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;THE THREAD
And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.Genesis uses the same root יצא (yatsa, “go out” or “come forth”) for kings coming out of Abraham. The root joins these clans to a wider pattern: shared origins open into distinct peoples.
