The sons of Asher; Imnah, and Isuah, and Ishuai, and Beriah, and Serah their sister.
The verse names the sons of Asher as Imnah, Isuah, Ishuai, and Beriah, and names Serah as their sister, including his daughter among his children. It belongs to the genealogical record of the tribes and family lines in Chronicles, standing as part of a genealogy among the recorded family lines. Those family lines served as proof of hereditary descent for assigning land and maintaining temple service after the exile.
As one of the Bible's long lists of names, it may not be equally interesting or useful to every reader, but as part of the inspired Bible it can reward study. Its preservation illustrates the preservation of the records of God's children and the integrity of Israel's tribes. Its place among the recorded family lines shows that God is particular, with a faithful record of every soul kept in heaven.
