Simeonite; gentillic adjective identifying members of the tribe of Simeon
This is the gentillic (ethnic/tribal) adjective meaning 'of the tribe of Simeon' or 'belonging to Simeon's descendants.' It appears in tribal census and administrative contexts. Numbers 25:14 identifies Zimri as 'a leader of a father's house among the Simeonites.' Numbers 26:14 introduces the Simeonite clans in the wilderness census. Joshua 21:4 mentions 'the tribe of the Simeonites' in the Levitical city allotments. 1 Chronicles 27:16 lists 'the leader of the Simeonites.' The multilingual glosses (Spanish simeonita/simeonitas, French Siméonite) show standard gentillic forms. As with other tribal designations, this term marks identity within Israel's twelve-tribe structure, though Simeon's history was complex—eventually absorbed largely into Judah's territory.
