Vertaling Bijbel, Kanttekeningen SV, [], En de kinderen van Dan richtten voor zich dat gesneden [57]beeld op; en [58]Jonathan, de zoon van Gersom, den zoon van Manasse, hij en zijn zonen waren priesters voor den stam der Danieten, tot den dag toe, dat het [59]land gevankelijk is weggevoerd.
57. Zie boven, vs.14,17, en hfdst.17 vs.3.
58. Van wien boven, hfdst.17 vs.7, enz.
59. Dat is, de inwoners des lands; hetwelk [gelijk uit vs.31 wordt
afgenomen] geschied is ten tijde toen de Filistijnen Israel
sloegen met een zeer grote nederlaag en de ark des Heeren
wegvoerden, 1 Sam.4:2,10,11,17. Al zulke grote nederlagen plegen
vergezelschapt te zijn met wegvoering van vele gevangenen.

If we find here a Levite, Jonathan son of Gershom, son of Moses, within such a closely knit literary work, this can only serve as a direct reference; the letter nun written in the Masoretic text above the line in the name of Moses, which would make it into an otherwise unknown Manasseh, complicates the situation but its addition does not really give a viable alternative (see also below). ...
