5 In the genealogy in I Chronicles 3:10 most Greek manuscripts read , though MS 60 reads . In Antiquities Josephus uses , though in the Latin translation Asaph appears. The man's name, of course, was Asa. Is it not written in the annals of the kings of Israel and Judah? This variant is not a big deal, since Asaph appears to be just a variant spelling of Asa; probably as a result of passing through different languages. The New Testament has many examples of this phenomenon. A Hebrew word cannot end in a vowel, so I suspect that the glottal stop consonant which ends the Hebrew name was substituted with some other consonant in other languages.

6 In Hebrew, the name Asa begins and ends with the letter (Aleph), which is a consonant, a glottal stop. Other languages, (including Greek ) which do not have a letter for the glottal stop, substituted other consonants for it. The confusion of terminal glottal stops with other unvoiced consonants happens often in English as well, since English has no letter for the glottal stop. (Though in transliteration schemes, the single straight apostrophe is used to represent the glottal stop.) In very ancient Greek , the letter was pronounced like our letter p, it was not an "f.

7 " In English today, words ending in p often sound like they end in a glottal stop. That is, we do not aspirate the p as we would if the p was in the middle of a word, but simply shut off the exhaled air by closing our lips. - 4 - Mt 1:9 , , , and Uzziah begot Jotham, and Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah, Mt 1:10 , , , and Hezekiah begot Manasseh, and Manasseh begot Amon,4 and Amon begot Josiah, Mt 1:11.
