a -bim´a -el , ab -i -mā´el ( אבימאל , 'ăbhı̄mā'ēl , "my father is God," or "God is father"): The ninth of the thirteen sons of Joktan, who was descendant of Shem, and son of Eber, and brother of Peleg in whose days the earth was divided (Genesis 10:25-29; 1 Chronicles 1:19-23 ). Like some of the other names in this list, the name is linguistically south Arabian, and the tribes indicated are south Arabians. On the Arabic elements in Hebrew proper names see Halévy, Mélanges d'épigraphie et d'archéologie sémitiques; ZDMG , especially early in 1883; D. H. Müller, Epigraphie Denkmaler aus Arabien; Glaser, Skizze der Gesch. und Geog. Arabiens; and by index Hommel, Ancient Hebrew Tradition; and Gray, Hebrew Proper Names; and F. Giesebrecht, Die alttestamentliche Schatzung des Gottesnamens .
