In Genesis 36:13 and Genesis 36:17, the APB renders the name within lists of Reuel’s sons and chiefs; in 1 Chronicles 1:37 it occurs in the corresponding list of Reuel’s sons.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Nahath” in lists of people: as a son or chief in the Genesis and 1 Chronicles lists, and as an overseer in 2 Chronicles 31:13. In 1 Chronicles 6:11, the supplied APB genealogical wording does not visibly include the name, so its specific translation rendering is unclear.
