Nemuel:
the sleeping of God
Nemuel:
nem'-u-el, ne-mu'-el (nemu'el):ould not show their families nor their stock" (1 Esdras 5:37) equals "Nekoda" of Ezr 2:60; Ne 7:62.
(1) A Reubenite, brother of Dathan and Abiram (Nu 26:9).
(2) A son of Simeon (Nu 26:12; 1Ch 4:24). The name occurs also in the form "Jemuel" (Ge 46:10; Ex 6:15). According to Gray (Studies in Hebrew Proper Names), either form is etymologically obscure; but Nemuel is probably correct, for it is easier to account for its corruption into Jemuel than vice versa. The patronymic Nemuelites occurs once (Nu 26:12).
Nemuel:
(day of God).
(1.) A Reubenite, son of Eliab and eldest brother of Dathan and Abiram (Numbers 26:9).
(2.) The eldest son of Simeon (Numbers 26:12; 1 Chronicles 4:24) from whom were descended the family of the Nemuelites. In Genesis 46:10 he is called JERIUEL.
