☩In Ephraim's Genealogy
Eran was the son of Shuthelah, who was the eldest son of Ephraim. He became the progenitor of the family of the Eranites, one of the clans of the tribe of Ephraim counted in the wilderness census. The name does not appear in the genealogies of Ephraim in Chronicles, though a similar name (Eladah or Elead) may be a variant or corruption.
