These were the descendants of Asher
The phrase highlights the lineage of Asher, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, whose name means "happy" or "blessed" in Hebrew. Asher's descendants were known for their prosperity and abundance, as prophesied by Jacob in Genesis 49:20. This lineage emphasizes the fulfillment of God's promises to the tribes of Israel, showcasing His faithfulness across generations.

by their clans
The term "clans" refers to the subdivisions within the tribe, indicating a structured and organized society. In Hebrew, the word "mishpachot" is used, which denotes extended family groups. This structure was crucial for maintaining order and identity among the Israelites, especially during their wilderness journey and eventual settlement in the Promised Land.

The Imnite clan from Imnah
"Imnite" refers to the descendants of Imnah, a son of Asher. The name "Imnah" means "right hand" or "prosperity," reflecting the blessings associated with Asher's tribe. This clan, like others, played a role in the collective identity and strength of the tribe, contributing to its overall prosperity and fulfillment of divine promises.

the Ishvite clan from Ishvi
"Ishvite" denotes the descendants of Ishvi, another son of Asher. The name "Ishvi" means "equal" or "level," suggesting a sense of balance and fairness. This clan's inclusion in the census underscores the importance of each family unit in the broader narrative of Israel's history and God's covenantal relationship with His people.

and the Beriite clan from Beriah
"Beriite" refers to the descendants of Beriah, yet another son of Asher. The name "Beriah" means "in trouble" or "a gift," which can be seen as a reminder of the trials and blessings experienced by the Israelites. This duality reflects the complex journey of faith and reliance on God, who turns challenges into opportunities for growth and blessing.

Verse 44. - The children of Asher. Of these three families were named after sons, two after grandsons. In Genesis 46:17; 1 Chronicles 7:30, 31 a sixth name occurs, Ishuah, or Isuah. It is possible that its similarity to the following name of Isui or Ishui led to its accidental omission; but if the family continued to exist in Israel, such an omission could scarcely be overlooked.
