nem´ū́ - el , nḗ - mū´el ( נמוּאל , nemū'ēl ):

(1) A R eubenite, brother of Dathan and Abiram (Numbers 26:9 ).

(2) A son of Simeon (Numbers 26:12; 1 Chronicles 4:24 ). The name occurs also in the form "Jemuel" (Genesis 46:10; Exodus 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 (Numbers 26:12 ).
