The Mishraites were a clan descended from Shobal, who was a descendant of Judah through Caleb.

• People from Mishrait(?), only mentioned at 1Ch.2.53;
• only referred to as Mishraites מִשְׁרָעִי.

The Mishraites are mentioned in 1 Chronicles 2:53 as one of the clans that descended from Shobal, a descendant of Judah through Caleb. This reference appears in the context of a genealogical record that traces the lineage of the tribe of Judah, providing insight into the various families and clans within the tribe.

Apart from being listed as a clan descended from Shobal, no additional information is given about the Mishraites. The genealogy does not specify any notable individuals within the clan or provide details about their specific roles, occupations, or contributions to the tribe of Judah.

The mention of the Mishraites in this genealogical context serves to highlight the complex family structures within the tribe of Judah and the importance of tracing lineage in ancient Israelite society. It also demonstrates the thoroughness of the chronicler in recording even the smaller clans and families within the larger tribal framework, preserving their names and place in history.
