None but Caleb and Joshua was left of those who were numbered at Sinai the Shuphamite clan from Shupham The Shuphamite clan is one of the families descended from Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The mention of Shuphamites highlights the importance of genealogies in the Israelite community, as they were crucial for maintaining tribal identity and inheritance rights. The name Shupham is not widely referenced elsewhere in the Bible, suggesting that this clan may not have been as prominent as others. However, their inclusion in the census underscores the comprehensive nature of the record-keeping during Israel's wilderness period. This census, taken in the plains of Moab, was essential for organizing the Israelites before entering the Promised Land. The focus on lineage and tribal affiliation reflects the covenantal promises given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, emphasizing the continuity of God's plan through specific family lines. and the Huphamite clan from Hupham Persons / Places / Events 1. ShuphamA descendant of Benjamin, Shupham is the progenitor of the Shuphamite clan. The name is mentioned in the context of the second census of Israel, which was conducted to number the new generation of Israelites after the wilderness wanderings. 2. Hupham Another descendant of Benjamin, Hupham is the progenitor of the Huphamite clan. Like Shupham, Hupham's lineage is part of the census that prepares the Israelites for entering the Promised Land. 3. The Second Census This event, recorded in Numbers 26, was a critical moment for the Israelites as it marked the transition from the old generation that left Egypt to the new generation that would enter Canaan. It was a time of preparation and organization for the future. Teaching Points The Importance of Heritage and IdentityUnderstanding our spiritual heritage is crucial for knowing our identity in Christ. Just as the Israelites were organized by their clans, Christians are part of a spiritual family with a rich history. Preparation for God's Promises The census was a preparation for entering the Promised Land. Similarly, believers are called to prepare their hearts and lives for the fulfillment of God's promises. Faithfulness Across Generations The transition from one generation to the next highlights the importance of faithfulness. We are called to pass on our faith to the next generation, ensuring they are equipped to continue God's work. God's Sovereignty in Organization The detailed organization of the tribes shows God's sovereignty and order. In our lives, we can trust that God has a plan and purpose, even in the details.

What Does Numbers 26:39 Mean Setting the census• Numbers 26 recounts the second wilderness census, taken near the end of Israel’s forty-year journey (cf. Numbers 26:1–4; Numbers 1:1–3). • Unlike the first census—which identified fighting men for the march out of Egypt—this tally prepares a fresh generation to receive its tribal inheritance in Canaan (Numbers 26:52–56; compare Joshua 14:1–2). • Verse 38 introduces Benjamin’s descendants, anchoring them to Jacob’s beloved youngest son (Genesis 46:21). Verse 39 then lists two specific clans. The Shuphamite clan from Shupham “the Shuphamite clan from Shupham” (Numbers 26:39a) • Shupham (elsewhere called Shuppim, 1 Chronicles 7:12) is a grandson of Benjamin. • His descendants form a recognized sub-tribe—“clan”—within Benjamin, ensuring their place in the promised land allotment (Joshua 18:21–24). • God’s meticulous recordkeeping highlights that no believer is overlooked; every family has a stake in His covenant promises (Isaiah 49:16; Luke 12:7). The Huphamite clan from Hupham “and the Huphamite clan from Hupham” (Numbers 26:39b) • Hupham (also Huppim, Genesis 46:21) is another grandson of Benjamin. • Scripture pairs Hupham with sibling Muppim in earlier lists (1 Chronicles 7:12), yet here the Spirit singles him out to emphasize individual lineage. • By preserving his name, the Lord showcases steadfast faithfulness to generational blessings first promised to Abraham (Genesis 17:7) and reaffirmed to every tribe (Deuteronomy 7:9). Why these names still matter • They confirm the literal fulfillment of God’s word: specific families, centuries later, inherited tangible territory exactly as promised (Joshua 18:28). • They testify that covenant identity is communal yet personal—each clan bears responsibility to trust and obey (Judges 21:15–18). • They foreshadow the even greater registry of the redeemed whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life (Revelation 21:27). summary Numbers 26:39 records two Benjaminite clans—the Shuphamites and the Huphamites—underscoring that every family line counts in God’s unfolding plan. By faithfully preserving their names, Scripture assures us of God’s unfailing attention to detail, His commitment to generational promises, and His invitation for every believer to take an assured place within His covenant community.
