H3223
Jemuel (or Nemuel) was a son of Simeon and a founder of the Nemuelite clan, as recorded in Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, and 1 Chronicles.
Jemuel (also called Nemuel) was the firstborn son of Simeon and a grandson of Jacob, listed in Genesis 46:10 and Exodus 6:15 among those who went down to Egypt. In Numbers 26:12 his variant name Nemuel gives rise to the Nemuelite clan, one of the five clans of the tribe of Simeon numbered in the wilderness. As the firstborn of Simeon, Jemuel held the position of seniority among the Simeonite clans, though no individual narrative is attached to him in Scripture.
