Usage: Shemida is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Shemida is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogies of the tribes of Israel. He is identified as a descendant of Manasseh, one of the sons of Joseph. The name appears in the context of the tribal allotments and genealogical records, highlighting the lineage and territorial inheritance of the tribe of Manasseh.

In the Berean Standard Bible, Shemida is mentioned in the following passages:
• Numbers 26:32: "The descendants of Shemida were the Shemidaite clan."
• Joshua 17:2: "So this allotment was for the rest of the descendants of Manasseh—the clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These are the male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph by their clans."
• 1 Chronicles 7:19: "The sons of Shemida were Ahian, Shechem, Likhi, and Aniam."

Shemida's mention in these genealogical records underscores the importance of family lineage and tribal identity in ancient Israel. The Shemidaite clan, as part of the larger tribe of Manasseh, played a role in the settlement and organization of the Israelite tribes in the Promised Land.
