Now
The word "Now" serves as a transitional term, indicating a continuation or a new point in the narrative. In the context of Numbers 26, it marks a shift in focus within the genealogical record. This transition invites readers to pay attention to the details that follow, emphasizing the importance of each individual mentioned in the lineage of Israel.

the name
In Hebrew culture, names hold significant meaning and often reflect the character or destiny of a person. The mention of "the name" here underscores the importance of identity and legacy within the tribes of Israel. Names were not just labels but carried with them the history and hopes of the family and tribe.

of Asher’s daughter
Asher was one of the twelve sons of Jacob, and his descendants formed one of the tribes of Israel. The phrase "of Asher’s daughter" highlights the inclusion of women in the genealogical record, which is not always common in ancient texts. This inclusion signifies the value and recognition of women within the community and God's plan.

was Serah
Serah is a unique figure in the Bible, mentioned only a few times, yet her presence is significant. The Hebrew root of her name, "Serach," can mean "abundance" or "princess," suggesting a person of importance or blessing. Historically, Jewish tradition holds that Serah lived an exceptionally long life and was a keeper of family history, bridging generations. Her mention here serves as a reminder of the continuity of God's promises and the enduring legacy of faith through the generations.
