He is recognized as a descendant of Ephraim, one of the sons of Joseph, who was a prominent patriarch in the history of Israel. The name Shuthelah appears in several passages, providing insight into his lineage and the role his descendants played in the tribal structure of Israel.<br><br><b>Genealogy and Tribal Affiliation</b><br><br>Shuthelah is first mentioned in the Book of Numbers, where he is identified as a son of Ephraim. In <a href="/numbers/26-35.htm">Numbers 26:35</a> , the text states: "These were the descendants of Ephraim by their clans: The Shuthelahite clan from Shuthelah, the Bekerite clan from Beker, and the Tahanite clan from Tahan." This passage highlights Shuthelah as the progenitor of the Shuthelahite clan, one of the families within the tribe of Ephraim.<br><br>The tribe of Ephraim, to which Shuthelah belonged, held a significant position among the tribes of Israel. Ephraim was often associated with leadership and strength, and the tribe played a crucial role in the history of the Israelites, particularly in the northern kingdom of Israel.<br><br><b>Biblical References</b><br><br>Shuthelah is also mentioned in the genealogical records found in 1 Chronicles. In <a href="/1_chronicles/7-20.htm">1 Chronicles 7:20-21</a> , the genealogy of Ephraim is detailed: "The descendants of Ephraim: Shuthelah, Bered his son, Tahath his son, Eleadah his son, Tahath his son, Zabad his son, and Shuthelah his son." This passage not only confirms Shuthelah's place in the lineage of Ephraim but also indicates that his name was carried on by his descendants, suggesting the importance of his family line.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Significance</b><br><br>The mention of Shuthelah and his descendants in the biblical genealogies underscores the importance of family lineage and tribal identity in ancient Israel. The genealogies served not only as records of ancestry but also as a means of establishing tribal inheritance and leadership roles within the nation.<br><br>From a theological perspective, the inclusion of Shuthelah in the biblical narrative reflects the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs, particularly to Joseph and his sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. The tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh were both recipients of Jacob's blessings, as recorded in <a href="/bsb/genesis/48.htm">Genesis 48</a>, where Jacob prophesied their future growth and significance among the tribes of Israel.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>While the biblical text provides limited information about Shuthelah's personal life or deeds, his role as a progenitor of a clan within the tribe of Ephraim highlights the continuity of God's covenantal promises through the generations. The Shuthelahite clan, as part of the larger Ephraimite tribe, contributed to the unfolding narrative of Israel's history and the fulfillment of divine promises to the patriarchs.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shuthelah</span><p>plant; verdure; moist; pot<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shuthelah</span><p>(<i>noise of breaking</i>), head of an Ephraimite family, called after him Shuthalhites, (<a href="/numbers/26-35.htm">Numbers 26:35</a>) and lineal ancestor of Joshua the son of Numb (<a href="/1_chronicles/7-20.htm">1 Chronicles 7:20-27</a>)<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">SHUTHELAH; SHUTHELAHITES</span><p>shoo-the'-la, shoo'-the-la, shoo-the'-la-hits, shoo'-the-la-hits (shuthalchi): A son of Ephraim (<a href="/numbers/26-35.htm">Numbers 26:35, 36</a>; compare <a href="/1_chronicles/7-20.htm">1 Chronicles 7:20, 21</a>), and his descendants.<br><br>See <a href="../g/genealogy.htm">GENEALOGY</a>.<p><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/8364.htm"><span class="l">8364.
