Shimron (personal name: son of Issachar)
Shimron was the fourth son of Issachar, listed in patriarchal genealogies. He appears in the family roster when Jacob's household went to Egypt (Genesis 46:13), in the wilderness census as founder of the Shimronite clan (Numbers 26:24), and in Chronicles' genealogical record (1 Chronicles 7:1). The name derives from a root meaning 'watch' or 'guard.' The Greek versions show considerable variation (Zambram, Sambra, Semeron), typical of the challenges in rendering Hebrew names. This personal name should be distinguished from the Canaanite city Shimron (Joshua 11:1) and Shimron-meron (Joshua 12:20).
