(30) Famous throughout the house of their fathers.Rather, men of name (renown, as in Gen. 6:4), arranged according to their clans. The phrase men of renown is a natural addition to valiant heroes, and need occasion no surprise. Doubtless their renown was collective. The comparative smallness of Ephraims contingent is noticeable. If this tribe was not already declining within the Mosaic period (comp. Num. 1:33; Num. 26:37), it may have been greatly reduced by the last wars of Saul with the Philistines (comp. 2Sa. 2:9).
