Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for the term "Nemuelite" as it is a specific Hebrew clan designation. However, related Greek terms might include those used for tribal or familial groups in the Septuagint or New Testament contexts, though these would not be direct translations of נְמוּאֵלִי.

Usage: The term "Nemuelite" is used to refer to the descendants or members of the family of Nemuel, specifically within the context of the tribal divisions of Israel.

Context: • The Nemuelites are identified as a clan or family group within the tribe of Simeon. Nemuel, from whom the Nemuelites descend, is listed as one of the sons of Simeon. The genealogical records in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the Book of Numbers, provide insight into the tribal organization and familial lineages of the Israelites during their wilderness journey and subsequent settlement in the Promised Land.
• In Numbers 26:12, the Nemuelites are mentioned in the census of the Israelites conducted by Moses and Eleazar the priest. This census was taken to determine the division of the land among the tribes as they prepared to enter Canaan. The passage reads: "The descendants of Simeon by their clans: The Nemuelite clan from Nemuel, the Jaminite clan from Jamin, the Jakinite clan from Jakin."
• The mention of the Nemuelites highlights the importance of family and tribal identity in ancient Israelite society. Each clan played a role in the larger tribal structure, contributing to the social, military, and religious life of the nation.
