Scholars highlight that names in this verse, like Shephuphan and Huram, are listed as sons of Bela, while in other biblical genealogies (Genesis 46, Numbers 26) they appear as his brothers. This is not seen as a contradiction, but as evidence that kinship terms were used flexibly to describe tribal and clan relationships, which could shift over time. These lists are more like a snapshot of clan structures than a modern family tree.
