Muppim
(Heb. Muppim', מֻפַּים, perh. contracted from מְעוּפַיםin the sense of flights; Sept. Μαμφίμ, v.r. Ο᾿φιμίν and Ο᾿φιμίμ, Vulg. Mophim), a person named in Gen_46:21 as one of the sons of Benjamin born before the migration into Egypt; but really a grandson born much later, being a son of Becher (q.v.), as it would seem from parallel accounts. SEE BENJAMIN. He is doubtless the same elsewhere called SHEPHUPHIAM (1Ch_8:5), SHUPHAM (Num_26:30), or SHUPPIM (1Ch_7:12). SEE JACOB.
