The Four Fathers
Parshas Hashavua
פנחס
ושם בת אשר שרח
Who was
Serach's father?
1. אשר
2. ישוי
3. בן של ישוי (son of Yishvi)
4. מלכיאל
The רמב"ן (26:46) says the תרגום אונקלס
translates
ושם בת אשר שרח,- "ושום ברת אתת אשר סרח
The name of the daughter of Osher’s wife was שרח.
(She wasn’t Osher’s daughter but his wife’s daughter)
The רמב"ן explains, Serach’s mother was married
and
had only one child. (Serach)
אשר married her after her husband died.*
The תכלת מרדכי (Kur Zahav) says that she was
the daughter of ישוי the son of אשר. When ישוי
died, אשר married his daughter-in-law. (איסור דאורייתא)**
A second possibility is that she was the
granddaughter
of ישוי and אשר married his son Yishvi’s daughter
in law (איסור דרבנן)
The ספר הישר says she was the daughter of
(מלכיאל בן עילם (בן שם בן נח***,
*
Shu"t Chasam Sofer E.H,76 proves from here
the Halacha in Rema Ch.M. 42:15 "adopted children
can be called children in documents etc." ** קודם מתן
תורה *** Very
problematic-According to the ספר הישר she
wasn't a descendant of בני ישראל (יעקב) יורדי מצרים
