This verse is talking about the family of Beriah, who was a part of the tribe of Asher. The Beriah family had two main groups, the Heberites and the Malchielites, who were named after their ancestors Heber and Malchiel. This is important because it helps us to understand the family lines and inheritances of the Israelites, which is a big part of the Bible's story, as seen in Numbers 26:44-47 and Joshua 19:24-31. By looking at these family lists, we can see how God was working in the lives of His people, and how He is still faithful to us today, as promised in Deuteronomy 31:6 and Hebrews 13:5.

Cambridge Bible on Numbers 26:45
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.
