Shimron is mentioned in Gen.46.13, Num.26.24, and 1Ch.7.1 as one of the sons of Issachar who went down to Egypt with Israel (or 'Jacob'). He is listed among the 70 members of Jacob's family who migrated to Egypt during the time of Joseph. Shimron became the progenitor of the Shimronite clan within the tribe of Issachar. In the census taken in the wilderness of Sinai (Num.26.24), the descendants of Shimron, known as the Shimronites, were counted among the clans of Issachar. This census was conducted to determine the military strength and organization of the Israelites before their entry into the Promised Land.
