Hupham
Hupham
(Heb. Chiupham’, , according to Gesenius perh. coast-man, according to Furst screened; Sept. omits, but some eds. have ; Vulg. Hupham), a person apparently mentioned as one of the sons of Benjamin (Num 26:39); elsewhere less correctly called HUPPIM (Gen 46:24). His descendants are called HUPHIMITES (Hebrew Chuphanzi’, , Sept. omits, but some eds. ,Vulg. Huphamitce, Num 26:39). B.C. 1856. The name Huppim being in the plural (Heb. Chuppim’, , coverings; Sept. omits in Gen 46:21, but some copies have or ; as a son of Bela; Vulg. Ophim.), suggests the possibility that it is a contraction for Huphamites. SEE SHUPPIM.
The only other passages where it occurs are 1Ch 7:12 (Sept. , Vulg. Hapham) and 15 (Sept. , Vulg. Happhim), in both which it has the same fraternity with Shuppim, and in the latter mention is made of a sister Maachah as married to Machir, the son of Manasseh by a concubine, while in the former Huppim and Shuppim are expressly called the sons of Ir, apparently a son of Benjamin additional to the three mentioned in 1Ch 7:6, but probably not the Iri mentioned in 1Ch 7:7. Hence results the probability that Hupham, whose descendants are thus spoken of, was a grandson of Benjamin, and consequently a son of one of his five sons expressly named in order in 1Ch 8:1-2, but whether of the fourth or fifth is uncertain. SEE BENJAMIN.
