Numbers 26:15 (KJV)

What does Numbers 26:15 mean?

Numbers 26:15 lists the descendants of Gad by their family groups, naming the families of Zephon, Haggi, and Shuni. This verse is part of a census, recording the different clans within the tribe of Gad as Israel prepares to enter the promised land.

Moses is speaking to the people of Israel, under God’s instruction, as part of a larger counting of all the tribes. Each family group is named to show their place within the tribe and to organize the people for inheritance and settlement. This verse helps establish the structure and identity of the tribe of Gad among the Israelites.
