Muppim, also known as Shephupham, Shephuphan, or Shuphamite, was a son of Benjamin mentioned in the genealogies of Genesis, Numbers, and 1 Chronicles.
Muppim was a son of Benjamin and grandson of Jacob listed among the seventy who went down to Egypt (Genesis 46:21). He appears under the variant names Shephupham (Numbers 26:39) and Shephuphan (1 Chronicles 8:5), reflecting different manuscript traditions or genealogical sources. The Shuphamites derived their clan name from this ancestor (Numbers 26:39). The textual variation in his name is typical of the genealogical lists in the Pentateuch and Chronicles, which draw on multiple underlying traditions.
