Numbers 26:42 Summary
[Numbers 26:42 is a list of the descendants of Dan, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, and it shows how they were organized into clans. This organization was important for the Israelites' spiritual lives, as it reminded them of their heritage and their role in God's plan, as seen in Deuteronomy 29:10-13. Just like the Shuhamite clan, we each have a unique role to play in God's plan, and we can learn more about this role by studying our own family heritage and the Bible, including verses like Ephesians 2:10 and Romans 12:4-5.]
Frequently Asked Questions

Gill's Exposition on Numbers 26:42
Ver. 42,43. These are the sons of Dan, after their families,.... Though he had but one son, the plural being put for the singular; or by sons are meant his posterity; his son's name was Shuham, and
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 26:42
These are the sons of Dan after their families: of Shuham, the family of the Shuhamites. These are the families of Dan after their families. These are the sons of Dan after their families: of Shuham - or Hushim (Genesis 46:23).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Numbers 26:42
Shuham, called, by transposition, Hushim, . After their families; the greater families subdivided into lesser families.
Cambridge Bible on Numbers 26:42
5–51. The twelve secular tribes are numbered, the sacred tribe of Levi being omitted. The names are based upon Genesis 46:8-27, but with the addition of Ephraim and Manasseh, who, having been born in Egypt, could not be reckoned in Gen. among those who went down into Egypt. The total number at the first census, thirty-eight years before (ch. 1) was 603,550; now it Isaiah 601,730. The order of the tribes is the same, except that Manasseh (Numbers 26:29-34) precedes Ephraim (Numbers 26:35-37). Reuben, Simeon, Gad, Ephraim and Naphtali have decreased in numbers, while the other seven have increased. The impossibility of the figures is shewn in note on Numbers 1:46.
Whedon's Commentary on Numbers 26:42
42. Shuham is Hushim in Genesis 46:23.
