The division by clans reflects the organizational structure of the Israelite community, which was essential for maintaining order and distributing land. Dan's descendants were known for their strength and numbers, as seen in earlier censuses (<a href="/numbers/1-38.htm">Numbers 1:38-39</a>).

The name Shuham means "pit-digger" or "depression," which may reflect the geographical features of the area they inhabited or a characteristic of the clan. The Shuhamites, like other clans, played a role in the military and social structure of Israel. The mention of Shuham highlights the continuity of the family line and the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding his descendants (<a href="/genesis/15-5.htm">Genesis 15:5</a>).<p><b>These were the clans of Dan:</b><br>The repetition emphasizes the unity and identity of the tribe of Dan.
