the treasures.
] This is the first time that any of the posterity of Moses are taken notice of, as being in any office of honour, authority, and trust; by the Targum he is said to be Jonathan, spoken of in ( Judges 18:30 ) but very wrongly; this man, according to Jarchi and Kimchi, had all the treasures and treasurers under him.
