Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Chamul, as it is a specific Hebrew name. However, genealogical references in the Greek New Testament, such as those found in the Gospels, may indirectly relate to the lineage of Judah, to which Chamul belongs.

Usage: The name Chamul appears in the genealogical records of the Bible, specifically in the context of the descendants of Judah.

Context: • Chamul is identified as a son of Pharez (Perez), who was a son of Judah, one of the twelve sons of Jacob. This places Chamul within the tribe of Judah, which is significant in the biblical narrative as the tribe from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ are descended.
• The mention of Chamul is found in the genealogical listings that are important for establishing tribal and familial lines, particularly in the context of inheritance and fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, Chamul is mentioned in Genesis 46:12: "The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah. But Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul."
• Chamul's inclusion in these genealogies underscores the importance of lineage in the biblical narrative, as well as the continuity of God's covenantal promises through specific family lines.
