Shephuphan; personal name of a Benjaminite in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles
Shephuphan is listed in 1 Chronicles 8:5 among the sons of Bela in Benjamin's genealogy. This name is essentially another variant of Shephupham/Shuppim, demonstrating how the same family name could be recorded with slight variations in different genealogical contexts. The Chronicles genealogies often preserve alternative name forms or traditions distinct from those in the Pentateuch or Samuel-Kings, reflecting different source documents or scribal practices.

1. sense 1 — Personal name in Benjamin's genealogy in 1 Chronicles 8:5. The form ושפופן (we-Shephuphan) includes the conjunction 'and,' appearing in a genealogical list. Spanish provides 'y-Sefufán' (and Sephuphan), while French and German retain the bracketed Hebrew. The Septuagint shows considerable variation (Σωφαρφακ, Σωφαν, Σεπφαμ), reflecting the challenges of transliterating unfamiliar Hebrew names and perhaps indicating different textual traditions. This name represents the same ancestral figure as Shephupham in Numbers 26:39, with the variation likely due to dialectal differences or scribal tradition rather than indicating distinct individuals. 1×
