Becher

Meaning: first begotten; first fruits · Male · 1 cross reference

This Becher entry refers to a son of Ephraim in the clan lists of Numbers 26, not to the better-known Benjaminite name elsewhere in Scripture. He belongs to the preserved structure of Ephraim's tribal families. First appears in Num 26:35.1

AI summary: This Becher matters because his single cross reference places him in the census framework that defines Ephraim's inherited clan identity. Even a brief listing contributes to the orderly memory by which Israel's tribes are counted and located. Taken together, the material presents this Becher as a clan ancestor within Ephraim's record.1
