44These were the clans descended from the sons of Asher:
The Imnite clan, named after their ancestor Imnah.
The Ishvite clan, named after their ancestor Ishvi.
The Beriite clan, named after their ancestor Beriah.
45These were the subclans descended from the Beriites:
The Heberites, named after their ancestor Heber.
The Malkielites, named after their ancestor Malkiel.
46Asher also had a daughter named Serah.
47These were the clans of Asher. Their registered troops numbered 53,400.
Legacy, The Tribe of Asher
“In the first census, the tribe of Asher counted 41,500 men ready for war; 38 years later, they counted 53,400 men. This was a gain of 11,900 (29%).” (Guzik)
Notice this verse, “Asher also had a daughter named Serah.”
Women weren’t counted in the census and mere mention of her must have significance, even though the Bible doesn’t state why, there is much rabbinical folklore about her.
Genesis 46:17 The children of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and their sister Serah. The sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.
The Lord honored Serah’s legacy by mentioning her her in the Bible.
What kind of legacy will we have?
Blessings
