Key Reflection

This verse details the genealogy and organization of the tribe of Ephraim after the census conducted by Moses and Eleazar, as recorded in Numbers 26. The original audience would have recognized these names as significant, as they represented the distinct family lines within Ephraim, each with their own lineage and roles in the tribal structure. This list helps to clarify how the Israelites were organized for practical purposes such as military service or land distribution.
