Hushim, a son of Dan listed in Genesis 46 and 1 Chronicles 7
Hushim was a son of Dan according to Genesis 46:23, making him one of Jacob's grandsons who went down to Egypt. The name appears in variant spellings: Hushim in Genesis 46 and 1 Chronicles 7:12, but as Shuham in Numbers 26:42 (where his descendants are called Shuhamites). This kind of orthographic variation is common in biblical genealogies, where the same individual or clan may be recorded with different but related name forms across multiple texts.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The proper name of Dan's son in the patriarchal genealogies. Genesis 46:23 records 'the sons of Dan: Hushim' (using the plural form for a single son), while 1 Chronicles 7:12 mentions 'Hushim the sons of Aher.' The connection to Shuham of Numbers 26 is widely recognized by scholars. The multilingual glosses maintain the transliterated form with variations in initial consonant (H/J/Ch) according to language conventions. 2×
