These were the descendants of Ephraim
The phrase highlights the lineage of Ephraim, one of Joseph's sons, who was blessed by Jacob in Genesis 48. Ephraim's descendants played a significant role in the history of Israel, often representing the Northern Kingdom. The Hebrew root for "descendants" (בְּנֵי, b'nei) emphasizes the continuation of a family line, reflecting God's promise to Abraham about his numerous offspring.

by their clans
The term "clans" (מִשְׁפְּחֹתָם, mishp'ḥotam) refers to subdivisions within the tribes of Israel, indicating a structured and organized society. This structure was crucial for maintaining order and identity among the Israelites, especially during their wilderness journey. It also underscores the importance of family and community in God's covenantal plan.

the Shuthelahite clan from Shuthelah
Shuthelah is one of Ephraim's sons, and his name means "plant" or "shoot," symbolizing growth and new beginnings. The mention of the Shuthelahite clan signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to multiply Ephraim's descendants. This clan's presence in the census reflects their role in the broader narrative of Israel's history.

the Bekerite clan from Beker
Beker, another son of Ephraim, means "young camel" or "firstborn." The Bekerite clan's inclusion in the census highlights the diversity within Ephraim's lineage. Historically, each clan contributed to the military and social structure of Israel, ensuring the tribe's strength and resilience.

the Tahanite clan from Tahan
Tahan, whose name means "camp" or "encampment," represents another branch of Ephraim's descendants. The Tahanite clan's mention underscores the nomadic lifestyle of the Israelites during their wilderness journey. It also reflects the adaptability and perseverance required to fulfill God's promises amidst challenges.

Verse 35. - The sons of Ephraim. These formed but four families, three named after sons, one after a grandson. In 1 Chronicles 7:21 two other sons of Ephraim are mentioned who were killed in their father's lifetime, and a third, Beriah, who was the ancestor of Joshua. He does not seem to have founded a separate family, possibly because he was so very much younger than his brothers.
