Tahan (Ephraimite ancestor; clan name)
Tahan appears as an Ephraimite name in Numbers 26:35 (in the wilderness census, identifying a clan family) and 1 Chronicles 7:25 (in the Ephraimite genealogy). The name may be an abbreviation of a longer theophoric name. The Tahanites formed one of the clans of Ephraim counted during Israel's wilderness wanderings. The genealogical occurrence in Chronicles helps establish the tribal lineage. Like many clan names, Tahan represents both an ancestor and the family group descended from him.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The two contexts show typical Hebrew usage: the census list (Numbers) treats Tahan as the clan founder ('and Tahan,' 'to Tahan'), while the genealogy (Chronicles) traces descent lines. The multilingual evidence consistently transliterates the name: Spanish 'Taján,' French 'Tahan,' German 'Tahan.' The prepositional variations ('to Tahan,' 'and Tahan') reflect different grammatical contexts within genealogical formulas. 2×
