Hushim

William Smith's Bible Dictionary

(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.)
