(Heb. Yenmuë l', יְמוּאֵל, day-light of God, Sept. Ι᾿εμουήλ, Vulg. Jamuel), the first named of the sons of Simeon (Genesis 46:10; Exodus 6:15); elsewhere (Numbers 26:12) called NEMUEL (נְמוּאֵל, Nemuë l'; Sept. Ναμουήλ, Vulg. Namuel), apparently by an error of copyists, and his descendants NEMUELITES (Hebrew Nemuë li, נְמוּאֵלַי, Sept. Ναμουηλί, Vulg. Namuelitoe, Numbers 26:12). B.C. 1856.
