Shemida (personal name: descendant of Manasseh)
Shemida was a clan leader within the tribe of Manasseh, mentioned in genealogical records and land-allotment lists. The name may mean 'the name knows' according to some scholars, comparing Sabaean parallels. He appears in the census of Israel's families (Numbers 26:32) and in the distribution of Canaanite territory to his clan (Joshua 17:2), then again in the Chronicler's genealogy (1 Chronicles 7:19). The Greek translations show typical consonantal variation (Symear, Samareim, Sameida), reflecting the challenges of rendering Hebrew names into Greek.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Personal name of a Manassite family head. Numbers 26:32 lists Shemida among the clans of Manasseh counted in the wilderness census. Joshua 17:2 confirms that the Shemidaites received a land portion in Canaan. 1 Chronicles 7:19 places him in the genealogical structure of Manasseh's descendants. The name marks both a person and his clan, typical of tribal organization where the ancestor's name designates his descendants. 3×
