Pallu was one of the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel (or 'Jacob') (Genesis 46:9;Exodus 6:14;1 Chronicles 5:3). He is mentioned in the genealogies of Reuben, which list the descendants of Reuben and their clans. Pallu's descendants formed the Palluite clan within the tribe of Reuben (Numbers 26:5, 8). The Palluites were one of the clans that made up the tribe of Reuben during the wilderness wanderings and the settlement of the Promised Land. The mention of Pallu and his descendants in these genealogies highlights the importance of family lineage and tribal identity in the organization and history of the Israelite community.
