Jemuel

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

je-mu'-el (yemu'el, meaning unknown): A "son" of Simeon (Ge 46:10;Ex 6:15) = "Nemuel" inNu 26:12;1Ch 4:24.

The Syriac version has "Jemuel" in the 4 passages, but Gray (H P N, 307, note 6) thinks "Jemuel" is more probably a correction in Ge than "Nemuel" in Numbers.
