---excerpt from the Illustrated Bible Dictionary

Becher - First-born; a youth, the second son of Benjamin (Genesis 46:21), who came down to Egypt with Jacob. It is probable that he married an Ephraimitish heiress, and that his descendants were consequently reckoned among the tribe of Ephraim (Numbers 26:35; 1 Chronicles 7:20, 1 Chronicles 7:21). They are not reckoned among the descendants of Benjamin (Numbers 26:38).
