The genealogical record of Jerahmeel reaches its conclusion with the naming of Jonathan's sons, Peleth and Zaza. A concluding summary then closes this branch of the family tree. This summary serves a deeper purpose than simply gathering the preceding names into a neat list; it establishes a crucial point about their official legal status within the tribal lineage.
These specific descendants are formally recognized as part of Jerahmeel's line because of the actions of an earlier matriarch, Atarah, who converted to Judaism. Due to her conversion, her descendants hold full, recognized lineage. This formal recognition is deliberately emphasized to create a clear distinction. It sets Jerahmeel's recognized descendants apart from the descendants of Jarha, who appear later in the family history and do not share this official status of being legally attributed to Jerahmeel [מלבי״ם].
