They are descendants of Shuham, who is identified as a son of Dan, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, also known as Israel. The Shuhamites are thus part of the tribe of Dan, one of the twelve tribes of Israel.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>The primary reference to the Shuhamites is found in the Book of Numbers, which details the census of the Israelites as they journeyed through the wilderness. In <a href="/numbers/26-42.htm">Numbers 26:42</a>, the Berean Standard Bible states: "These are the descendants of Dan by their clans: The Shuhamite clan from Shuham. These were the clans of Dan." This passage highlights the Shuhamites as a distinct clan within the tribe of Dan, emphasizing their role in the broader narrative of Israel's history.<br><br><b>Genealogical Context:</b><br><br>The tribe of Dan, to which the Shuhamites belong, is one of the tribes that descended from Jacob's sons. Dan was the fifth son of Jacob and the first son of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. The tribe of Dan is often associated with strength and judgment, as suggested by Jacob's blessing in <a href="/genesis/49-16.htm">Genesis 49:16-17</a>, where Dan is described as a judge of his people and likened to a serpent by the roadside.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Significance:</b><br><br>The Shuhamites, as part of the tribe of Dan, played a role in the settlement of the Promised Land. The tribe of Dan initially received an inheritance in the southern part of Canaan, near the Philistine territory. However, due to pressure from neighboring peoples, they later migrated northward, as described in the Book of Judges. This migration led to the establishment of the city of Dan, which became a significant center in the northern kingdom of Israel.<br><br>The Shuhamites, like other clans within the tribes of Israel, contributed to the social and military fabric of the nation. The tribe of Dan was known for its warriors and played a role in various military campaigns, as seen in the accounts of the judges and the early monarchy.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the Shuhamites, as part of the tribe of Dan, are a testament to God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to the patriarchs. The inclusion of the Shuhamites in the census of Numbers underscores the importance of each clan and family in the unfolding of God's covenantal plan. The genealogical records serve as a reminder of the continuity of God's people and His providential care throughout history.<br><br>In summary, the Shuhamites are a clan within the tribe of Dan, noted in the biblical genealogies as part of the larger narrative of Israel's journey and settlement in the Promised Land. Their mention in Scripture highlights the intricate tapestry of families and tribes that constitute the nation of Israel, each playing a role in the divine account of redemption.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/7749.htm"><span class="l">7749.
