Hushim

Smith’s Bible Dictionary (1863)

(who makes haste).

• In (Genesis 46:23) “the children of Dan” are said to have been Hushim. The name is plural, as if of a tribe rather than an individual. In (Numbers 26:42) the name is changed to Shuham.

• A Benjamite, (1 Chronicles 7:12) and here again apparently the plural nature of the name is recognized, and Hushim are stated to be “the sons of Aher.”

• One of the two wives of Shaharaim. (1 Chronicles 8:8) (B.C. 1450.)
