The name Hushim appears in several contexts, each contributing to the understanding of Israel's tribal and familial structures.<br><br>1. <b>Hushim, Son of Dan</b>: Hushim is mentioned as a son of Dan, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, also known as Israel. In <a href="/genesis/46-23.htm">Genesis 46:23</a>, the Berean Standard Bible states, "The sons of Dan: Hushim." This reference places Hushim among the descendants of Jacob who went down to Egypt during the time of famine, forming the foundation of the tribe of Dan. The tribe of Dan later became one of the twelve tribes of Israel, known for its role in the conquest and settlement of the Promised Land.<br><br>2. <b>Hushim, Descendant of Benjamin</b>: Another mention of Hushim is found in the genealogies of the tribe of Benjamin. In <a href="/1_chronicles/7-12.htm">1 Chronicles 7:12</a>, the BSB records, "Shuppim and Huppim were the sons of Ir, and Hushim was the son of Aher." This Hushim is listed among the descendants of Benjamin, indicating a different lineage from the Hushim associated with Dan. The context suggests a connection to the family of Aher, though the exact relationship is not detailed in the text.<br><br>3. <b>Hushim, Wife of Shaharaim</b>: In <a href="/1_chronicles/8-8.htm">1 Chronicles 8:8</a>, Hushim is mentioned as one of the wives of Shaharaim, a Benjamite. The BSB states, "And Shaharaim had sons in the country of Moab after he had divorced his wives Hushim and Baara." This reference highlights the complex family dynamics and intertribal relationships within the tribe of Benjamin. The mention of Hushim in this context provides insight into the social and familial structures of ancient Israel.<br><br>The name Hushim, therefore, appears in various genealogical records, reflecting the multifaceted nature of Israel's tribal history. Each mention of Hushim contributes to the broader narrative of the Israelite people, illustrating the interconnectedness of the tribes and families that formed the nation of Israel. The presence of Hushim in these genealogies underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, as well as the diverse roles individuals played in the unfolding account of God's chosen people.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Hushim</span><p>(<i>who makes haste</i>). <ol> <li>In (<a href="/genesis/46-23.htm">Genesis 46:23</a>) "the children of Dan" are said to have been Hushim.
