Numbers 26:44-47·~1 min
The Tribe of Asher

T44hese were the descendants of Asher by their clans: 45And these were the descendants of Beriah: 46And the name of Asher’s daughter was Serah. 47These were the clans of Asher, and their registration numbered... 53,400.
Section summaryAsher’s clans are listed, and the notice includes Serah, Asher’s daughter, before recording the tribe’s total of 53,400. As in Manasseh’s entry, the genealogy briefly opens wider than the expected male line.
