What does Genesis 46:9 mean?

This is part of an extended list of all Jacob's sons and grandsons. Together, they will begin to be known as "Israel" (Genesis 35:10), growing into the nation God had promised would come from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Genesis 12:2).

The list began with Jacob's firstborn son Reuben. Now Reuben's sons are listed: Hanoch, Pallu, Hazron, and Carmi. The name Hanoch could also be understood as Enoch, meaning that both Adam's and Jacob's first grandsons shared the same name (Genesis 4:17). Pallu may mean "God is a miracle worker." Hazron is the same name as Judah's grandson (Genesis 46:12), but the meaning is unknown. Carmi is related to the Hebrew word for vineyard.
