These are the sons of Ephraim after their families
on Numbers 26:35-41
Ephraim loses eight thousand men and comes in at thirty and two thousand and five hundred, twenty thousand below Manasseh. Benjamin had ten sons at Genesis 46:21 and five of them head families here, and the chapter gives no reason for the other five. Benjamin has grown by ten thousand men since Sinai even so.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
These are the sons of Ephrain, after their families,.... Which were but three, the Shuthalhite, the Bachrite, and the Tahanite, only from the former sprung another family, called the Eranite; the number of the whole was 32,500; there was a decrease in this tribe of 8000.
