Shelumiel; a Simeonite leader during the wilderness period, son of Zurishaddai
A personal name meaning 'God is my peace' or 'friend of God,' borne by the leader of the tribe of Simeon during the wilderness wanderings. Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai appears in the census (Num 1:6), the camp arrangement (2:12), the tabernacle dedication offerings (7:36, 41), and the departure from Sinai (10:19). The LXX renders it Salamiel. Like many Israelite names compounded with El, it expresses trust in God's protective friendship.
