This tribe was numbered next to Dan, because it was under his standard; one of his sons is omitted, very probably dying childless, and so had no family; from the rest sprang the families of the Iimnite, Jesuite, and Benite; and, from the latter, two others, the Heberite and Malchielite; and it is remarked that Asher had a daughter named Serah, and who also is particularly mentioned as a sister of Asher's sons in <a href="/genesis/46-17.htm">Genesis 46:17</a> no doubt but she was a remarkable woman, either for religion, or for wisdom and prudence, or some amiable virtue or grace or another, that she is so particularly taken notice of: according to Maimonides (p) she was an heiress; for though Asher had many sons, this was his wife's daughter by another man, who had no sons, and the inheritance was his daughter's, and therefore is so particularly mentioned; she inheriting as the daughters of Zelophehad did: the number of persons in this tribe was 53,400, the increase was 11,900. <p>(p) Apud Abendana in loc. <a name="gsb" id="gsb"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/gsb/numbers/26.htm">Geneva Study Bible</a></div><span class="cverse2">Of the sons of Beriah: of Heber, the family of the Heberites: of Malchiel, the family of the Malchielites.</span></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="comtype">EXEGETICAL (ORIGINAL LANGUAGES)</div>Numbers 26:45<a name="kad" id="kad"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/kad/numbers/26.htm">Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament</a></div>The families of Asher agree with the sons of Asher mentioned in <a href="/genesis/46-17.htm">Genesis 46:17</a> and <a href="http://biblehub.com/1_chronicles/7-30.htm">1 Chronicles 7:30</a>, except that Ishuah is omitted here, because he founded no family.<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/numbers/26-45.htm">Numbers 26:45 Interlinear</a><br /><a href="/texts/numbers/26-45.htm">Numbers 26:45 Parallel Texts</a><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/niv/numbers/26-45.htm">Numbers 26:45 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/numbers/26-45.htm">Numbers 26:45 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/numbers/26-45.htm">Numbers 26:45 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/numbers/26-45.htm">Numbers 26:45 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/numbers/26-45.htm">Numbers 26:45 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="http://bibleapps.com/numbers/26-45.htm">Numbers 26:45 Bible Apps</a><br /><a href="/numbers/26-45.htm">Numbers 26:45 Parallel</a><br /><a href="http://bibliaparalela.com/numbers/26-45.htm">Numbers 26:45 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="http://holybible.com.cn/numbers/26-45.htm">Numbers 26:45 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="http://saintebible.com/numbers/26-45.htm">Numbers 26:45 French Bible</a><br /><a href="http://bibeltext.com/numbers/26-45.htm">Numbers 26:45 German Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/">Bible Hub</a><br /></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405';
