(Heb. Chamul', חָמוּל , Spared; Sept. Ι᾿Εμουήλ ), the second of the two sons of Pharez, son of Judah ( 1 Chronicles 2:5). He could not have been born, however, before the migration of Jacob into Egypt (as appears to be stated in  Genesis 46:12), since Pharez was not at that time grown up ( Genesis 38:1). His descendants were called HAMULITES ( Numbers 26:21). B.C. between 1870 and 1856.
