Conditional birth estimate

Conditional birth bounds under generation assumptions; not attested parental ages, biological limits or a lifespan.

The anchors give incompatible conditional intervals. This calculation establishes no birth year.

Below are relatives with a selected birth year, the generations separating them, and the interval allowed by each anchor. Each relative’s page shows available dates and sources. The overall estimate uses the intersection of the allowed intervals.

Mishma Summary STEPBible TIPNR

Mishma, a descendant of Simeon, was the son of Mibsam and the father of Hammuel.

Mishma Article STEPBible TIPNR

Mishma is mentioned in 1Ch 4:25-26 as part of the genealogy of the tribe of Simeon. He is identified as the son of Mibsam and the father of Hammuel. This genealogical record traces the descendants of Simeon, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, providing insight into the family lines within the tribe.

The mention of Mishma in this context highlights the importance of lineage and family heritage in ancient Israelite society. The chronicling of these genealogies served to preserve the identity and history of the tribes and to establish the legitimacy of their claims to specific territories and roles within the nation.

However, beyond his place in the genealogy as the son of Mibsam and the father of Hammuel, no additional information is provided about Mishma's life, character, or achievements. The lack of further details leaves much of his personal story unknown, and his significance lies primarily in his contribution to the continuation of the Simeonite line.
