Shechemites

The Shechemites are the clan descended from Shechem, listed among the families of Manasseh in the second wilderness census.

A Manassite Clan

The census enumeration after the plague at Peor counts Shechem's descendants by household: "and [of] Asriel, the family of the Asrielites; and [of] Shechem, the family of the Shechemites" (Num 26:31). The Shechemites are placed alongside the Asrielites within the broader register of the sons of Manasseh, marking them as one of the recognized sub-clans of that tribe.
