Shimron

Male · 3 cross references

Shimron is a son of Issachar named in the core genealogical records of Israel. He belongs to the ancestral structure that gives Issachar its recognized internal branches. First appears in Gen 46:13.1

AI summary: Shimron matters because the cross references preserve his line from Jacob's family through the wilderness census and later chronicling. Even brief notices like these show how the tribes were remembered through stable ancestral heads whose names carried forward communal identity. Taken together, the material presents Shimron as an Issacharite forefather whose place helps preserve the framework of the tribe.1
