This connection to Joseph is significant, as Joseph's lineage is often associated with blessings and prosperity, as seen in <a href="/genesis/49-22.htm">Genesis 49:22-26</a>. The tribe of Manasseh was one of the two half-tribes that received land on both sides of the Jordan River, indicating their importance and size. Asriel's name means "God is my help," reflecting a common theme in Israelite names that emphasize reliance on God. The Asrielites, as part of the larger tribe of Manasseh, would have shared in the inheritance of land and the responsibilities of maintaining the covenant with God.<p><b>the Shechemite clan from Shechem</b><br>The Shechemite clan is named after Shechem, a significant city in biblical history. Shechem was located in the hill country of Ephraim and served as an early center of Israelite worship and governance. It is the site where God first appeared to Abraham in Canaan (<a href="/genesis/12-6.htm">Genesis 12:6-7</a>) and where Jacob settled and built an altar (<a href="/genesis/33-18.htm">Genesis 33:18-20</a>). Shechem was also the location of the covenant renewal under Joshua (<a href="/joshua/24.htm">Joshua 24:1-25</a>). The Shechemites, therefore, are linked to a place of deep historical and spiritual significance for the Israelites. The city of Shechem later became a Levitical city and a city of refuge, highlighting its continued importance in Israel's religious and social structure.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/asriel.htm">Asriel</a></b><br>Asriel is identified as the progenitor of the Asrielite clan. The name Asriel means "God is my help" in Hebrew, reflecting a reliance on divine assistance.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/s/shechem.htm">Shechem</a></b><br>Shechem is both a person and a place. As a person, Shechem is the ancestor of the Shechemite clan. The name Shechem means "shoulder" or "ridge" in Hebrew, often associated with strength and support. As a place, Shechem is a significant city in biblical history, located in the hill country of Ephraim.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_census_of_israel.htm">The Census of Israel</a></b><br>Numbers 26 records the second census of the Israelites in the wilderness, taken after the plague as they prepare to enter the Promised Land.
