Becher

first begotten; first fruits

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Becher

(young or firstborn)

The second son of Benjamin, according to the list in both (Genesis 46:21) and 1Chr 7:6 But omitted in (1 Chronicles 8:1) (B.C. about 1690.)
Son of Ephraim, (Numbers 26:35) called BERED in (1 Chronicles 7:20) Same as the preceding.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

First-born; a youth, the second son of Benjamin (Genesis 46:21), who came down to Egypt with Jacob. It is probable that he married an Ephraimitish heiress, and that his descendants were consequently reckoned among the tribe of Ephraim (Numbers 26:35; 1 Chronicles 7:20, 21). They are not reckoned among the descendants of Benjamin (Numbers 26:38).
