These are the sons of Dan after their families
on Numbers 26:42-47
Dan has one son, one family, and sixty and four thousand and four hundred men, second in size only to Judah. Ten sons of Benjamin produced fewer fighting men than the one son of Dan. Asher grows by nearly twelve thousand, and his roll closes on a woman, Sarah his daughter, whom the list of Genesis 46:17 calls Serah. She and the five daughters of Zelophehad are the only women this census names.
