Context: The term "Chelkite" refers to a member of the family or clan of Helek, which is part of the tribe of Asher. The tribe of Asher was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Asher, the eighth son of Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. The Chelkites are mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Asher, highlighting the importance of family lineage and tribal affiliation in ancient Israelite society.

The Chelkites, like other clans within the tribes of Israel, would have had specific roles and responsibilities within the tribal structure, contributing to the overall functioning and cohesion of the Israelite nation.
