the Hamulite (clan name)
This gentilic adjective designates the clan descended from Hamul, a son of Perez in the tribe of Judah. Numbers 26:21 uses it in the wilderness census to identify the Hamulite family as one of Judah's constituent clans. The definite article makes it function as a collective noun—'the Hamulite clan'—in the systematic enumeration of Israel's military-age males.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The collective designation for descendants of Hamul within Judah. The gentilic pattern (personal name + ite) creates a clan identifier used in official census records.

Numbers 26:21 employs it in the detailed tribal accounting that organized Israel's camp and military structure during the wilderness wanderings. 1×
