(Heb. Yenmuë l', יְמוּאֵל, day -light of God , Sept. Ι᾿εμουήλ, Vulg. Jamuel ), the first named of the sons of Simeon ( Genesis 46:10;  Exodus 6:15); elsewhere ( Numbers 26:12) called Nemuel (נְמוּאֵל, Nemuë l '; Sept. Ναμουήλ, Vulg. Namuel ), apparently by an error of copyists, and his descendants Nemuelites (Hebrew Nemuë li , נְמוּאֵלַי, Sept. Ναμουηλί, Vulg. Namuelitoe ,  Numbers 26:12). B.C. 1856.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

jē̇ - mū´el ( ימוּאל , yemū'ēl , meaning unknown): A "son" of Simeon (  Genesis 46:10;  Exodus 6:15 ) = "Nemuel" in  Numbers 26:12;  1 Chronicles 4:24 .

The Syriac version has "Jemuel" in the 4 passages, but Gray ( Hpn , 307, note 6) thinks "Jemuel" is more probably a correction in Gen than "Nemuel" in Numbers.
