These were the descendants
This phrase introduces a genealogical record, a common feature in the Book of Numbers. The Hebrew word for "descendants" is "בְּנֵי" (benei), meaning "sons" or "children." This emphasizes the importance of lineage and heritage in Israelite culture, reflecting God's covenantal promises to Abraham about his offspring. Genealogies served not only as historical records but also as a means to establish identity and continuity of God's people.

of Shuthelah
Shuthelah is a name that appears in the genealogies of the tribe of Ephraim, one of Joseph's sons. The name Shuthelah may derive from a root meaning "to plant" or "to shoot forth," symbolizing growth and continuity. This reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to multiply the descendants of Israel. The mention of Shuthelah underscores the significance of family lines in maintaining the tribal structure and inheritance rights within Israel.

the Eranite clan
The term "clan" in Hebrew is "מִשְׁפָּחָה" (mishpachah), which refers to a family group larger than a household but smaller than a tribe. Clans were essential in organizing the social and military structure of ancient Israel. The Eranite clan, named after Eran, signifies a sub-division within the tribe of Ephraim, highlighting the detailed organization and record-keeping that characterized the Israelite community.

from Eran
Eran is a descendant of Shuthelah, and his name is associated with the Eranite clan. The name Eran may be related to a root meaning "watchful" or "vigilant," suggesting qualities valued in the leadership and protection of the clan. This reflects the broader biblical theme of vigilance and faithfulness in following God's commands. The mention of Eran and his clan serves as a reminder of the individual contributions to the collective identity and mission of the Israelites.
