Numbers 26:37

35 These were the descendants of Ephraim by their clans: The Shuthelahite clan from Shuthelah, the Becherite clan from Becher, and the Tahanite clan from Tahan.

36 And the descendants of Shuthelah were the Eranite clan from Eran.

These were the clans of Ephraim, and their registration numbered 32,500. These clans were the descendants of Joseph.

38 These were the descendants of Benjamin by their clans: The Belaite clan from Bela, the Ashbelite clan from Ashbel, the Ahiramite clan from Ahiram,

39 the Shuphamite clan from Shupham, and the Huphamite clan from Hupham.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
