Le-Tola‘ men of substance according to their lines. This means: Tola had (le-Tola‘ hayu) these men of substance by the rest of his sons—other than Uzzi—and they totaled twenty-two thousand six hundred, whereas from Uzzi he had thirty-six thousand (v. 4). This is the reason the text says that they had many wives and sons (v. 4), for that is why their numbers were so high. For the numbers of the rest of Tola’s sons—of whom there were five—totaled just twenty-two thousand six hundred; but the descendants of Uzzi totaled thirty-six thousand, because they had many wives and fathered many sons.
