Peullethai the eighth, for God had blessed him—as it says above: “And the Lord blessed the house of Obed-edom and all he had” (1 Chronicles 13:14). Indeed, it says, “sixty-two of Obed-edom” (v. 8). But above it says, “and Obed-edom and their brothers—sixty-eight” (1 Chronicles 16:38)! It is possible that Obed-edom had six brothers, so that all together they totaled sixty-eight. The plural pronoun in “and their brothers” would then refer to Obed-edom and his sons, because their father’s brothers may also be called their brothers, as if they were their own. Here, though, the text says that “the sons of Obed-edom” (v. 8) totaled sixty-two. And when it says here “they and their sons and their brothers” (v. 8), “they” refers to the sons of Obed-edom, “and their sons” refers to the grandsons who are mentioned, and “and their brothers” to those not mentioned. Finally, “Man of ability” (v. 8) is like “men of ability.” Our Sages, of blessed memory, explain midrashically (b. Berakhot 63b) that “the Lord blessed the house of Obed-edom” in that his wife and eight daughters-in-law each gave birth to sextuplets, so that they amounted to sixty-two.
