RASHI: Nu26-38a Nu26-39b Nu26-42a One tribe with 2 names VERY BRIEF SUMMARY Nu26 contains a list of the major branches of the 12 tribes.Gn46 also contains a listing of Jacobs children & their families. Thus these two chapters SHOULD contain the same major families. By ALIGNING the families in each chapter we infer how (i) certain families had two names and (ii) certain families had died. Here is a simple example --Gn46-10 SHIMONS SONS: yEMUEL YAMIN OHAD YACHIN TZOCHAR SHAUL --Nu26-13 SHIMONS SONS: nEMUEL YAMIN ---- YACHIN ZERACH- SHAUL Rashi infers that (a) OHAD had died (b) TZOCHAR & ZERACH are 2 names for this family (c) YEMUEL and NEMUEL were the same We continue below the LIST started 2 days ago | ||||

*1 A blank in the last column indicates that the SAME NAME
is used in both Gn & Nu
*2 Certain tribes had 2 names which were phonetically
similar (eg Tzefon--Tzifyon)
*3 The grandchildren that ARE mentioned by Jacob but
NOT by Moses probably referred to people who died
in the middle.
*4 We present here the tribes with 2 names and Rashis (or
my) explanation on why the 2 names mean the same thing
- Nu26-38a ACHIRAM = ACHI. Rashi explains that ACHIRAM simply
means ACHI RAM, my HIGHER (OLDER) BROTHER. In general it
is believed that BENJAMIN names his children to reflect a
longing for his kidnapped brother JOSEPH*13
- Nu26-39b MUPIM = SHEFUFAM. Rashi only explains SHEFUFAM,
but for clarity I will explain both names
--MUPIM would probably mean MPO= FROM (M) PO (HERE)
--SHEFUFAM would come from SFI which means ISOLATED
/DISLOCATED
Both FROM-HERE and ISOLATED would describe Josephs
kidnapping
- Nu26-42a CHUSIM=SHUCAM (Note how the first two letters
are reversed--hence I would add this pair to those
in footnote #2--the phonetically sounding names)
*5 Separate lists dealing with (a) female descendants
(b) the levite tribe and (c) grandchildren assigned
tribal status--- will be presented below
