Hamul: grandson of Judah through Perez
A personal name meaning 'spared' or 'pitied,' belonging to a grandson of Judah. Hamul was the son of Perez and thus part of Judah's lineage that would eventually lead to David and the messianic line. The name appears in genealogical lists tracing the tribe of Judah's family structure. As the ancestor of the Hamulite clan, his name marked one of the subdivisions of the tribe during the wilderness period and settlement in Canaan.
