This woman's name is rendered memorable in Scripture, from having a son who blasphemed the Lord. See the history, (Leviticus 24:10-23) Her name seems to have been derived from Shalem, peace—but her unhappy commerce with an Egyptian brought forth in this son both disorder and unhappiness. Alas! what can such events produce but evil? "Lust (saith the Holy Ghost by the apostle) when it hath conceived bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death." (James 1:15) It is somewhat remarkable that this name of Shelemoth, though it is evidently of a feminine termination, was used for several of the sons of the Hebrews. (1 Chronicles 23:9; 1Ch 26:26)
