Kemuel, name of three different men in the Old Testament
Kemuel appears as the name of three distinct individuals in Scripture: a son of Nahor (Abraham's brother), an Ephraimite leader assisting with land distribution, and a Levite. The LXX renders this consistently as Καμουηλ. The name's Hebrew root suggests meanings related to 'God has raised' or 'assembly of God,' though as a proper name it functions primarily as an identifier across different tribal contexts.
Senses
1. sense 1 — This proper name designates three separate biblical figures: first, one of Nahor's sons in the genealogies of Genesis 22; second, a representative from the tribe of Ephraim chosen to help divide the Promised Land; and third, a Levitical official during David's administration. The consistent transliteration across languages (Kemuel, Qemuel) preserves the Hebrew phonetic form. 3×
