These were the descendants
The phrase "These were the descendants" refers to the genealogical record of the tribe of Benjamin. In Hebrew, the word for descendants is "בְּנֵי" (benei), which means "sons of" or "children of." This emphasizes the importance of lineage and heritage in Israelite culture. The Israelites placed great value on family lines, as they were directly tied to the promises of God to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This genealogical record serves as a testament to God's faithfulness in preserving His people.

of Benjamin
Benjamin, the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel, holds a significant place in Israel's history. His name in Hebrew, "בִּנְיָמִין" (Binyamin), means "son of the right hand" or "son of the south." Benjamin's tribe was known for its fierce warriors and played a crucial role in the history of Israel, including the establishment of the first king, Saul. The tribe's survival and growth, despite challenges, reflect God's providence and the fulfillment of His promises to the patriarchs.

by their clans
The term "clans" in Hebrew is "מִשְׁפְּחוֹת" (mishpachot), which refers to extended family groups within the tribe. This structure was essential for maintaining order and identity among the Israelites. Each clan had its own leaders and responsibilities, contributing to the overall functioning of the tribe. The mention of clans highlights the organized and communal nature of Israelite society, where each member had a role and a place within the larger community.

and their number was 45,600
The specific number, 45,600, indicates the census count of the fighting men from the tribe of Benjamin. This census was conducted as the Israelites prepared to enter the Promised Land, ensuring that each tribe was accounted for in terms of military strength and inheritance. The precision of this number underscores the importance of order and preparation in fulfilling God's plans. It also reflects the growth and blessing of the tribe, as they had increased significantly since the previous census, demonstrating God's continued favor and provision.
