Jemuel

Jemuel, also known as Nemuel, was one of the sons of Simeon, the second son of Israel (or 'Jacob') and Leah. He is mentioned in the lists of Jacob's descendants who went to Egypt during the famine and in the census of the Israelites in the wilderness. In Numbers, the descendants of Jemuel are referred to as the Nemuelite clan, indicating that he was the founder of this family group within the tribe of Simeon. The variations in his name (Jemuel and Nemuel) may be due to textual transmission or linguistic differences. Beyond these genealogical references, no further information is provided about Jemuel's life or role in the family history.
