nem´uÌ„Ì-el, neÌ„Ì-mū´el (× ×ž×•Ö¼×ל, nemuÌ„'eÌ„l):
(1) A Reubenite, brother of Dathan and Abiram ().
(2) A son of Simeon (; ). The name occurs also in the form “Jemuel†(; ). 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 ().
