<p> <span> Abim'a-el. </span> <span> (father of Mael). </span> A descendant of Joktan, <span> [[Genesis]] 10:28 </span> ; <span> 1 [[Chronicles]] 1:22 </span> , and probably the progenitor of an [[Arab]] tribe (Mali). </p>

<p> '''''a''''' -'''''bim´a''''' -'''''el''''' , '''''ab''''' -'''''i''''' -'''''mā´el''''' ( <span> אבימאל </span> , <i> ''''''ăbhı̄mā'ēl''''' </i> , "my father is God," or "God is father"): The ninth of the thirteen sons of Joktan, who was descendant of Shem, and son of Eber, and brother of [[Peleg]] in whose days the earth was divided ( <span> [[Genesis]] 10:25-29 </span> ; <span> 1 [[Chronicles]] 1:19-23 </span> ). Like some of the other names in this list, the name is linguistically south Arabian, and the tribes indicated are south Arabians. [[On]] the [[Arabic]] elements in [[Hebrew]] proper names see Halévy, <i> Mélanges d'épigraphie et d'archéologie sémitiques </i> ; <i> ZDMG </i> , especially early in 1883; D. H. Müller, <i> Epigraphie Denkmaler aus Arabien </i> ; Glaser, <i> Skizze der Gesch. und Geog. Arabiens </i> ; and by index Hommel, <i> [[Ancient]] Hebrew [[Tradition]] </i> ; and Gray, <i> Hebrew [[Proper]] [[Names]] </i> ; and F. Giesebrecht, <i> [[Die]] alttestamentliche Schatzung des Gottesnamens </i> . </p>

<p> (Heb. Abimael', <span> אֲבַימָאֵל </span> <span> , father of Mael; </span> Sept. <span> Ἀβιμαέλ </span> , <span> Ἀβιμιεήλ </span> <span> , </span> [[Josephus]] <span> Ἀβιμάηλος </span> ), one of the sons of [[Joktan]] in [[Arabia]] ( <span> [[Genesis]] 10:28 </span> ; <span> 1 [[Chronicles]] 1:22 </span> ). B.C. post 2414. (See [[Arabia]]). [[He]] was probably the father or founder of an [[Arabian]] tribe called <span> Maal </span> ( <span> מָאֵל </span> , of unknown origin), a trace of which Bochart <span> (Phaleg, </span> 2:24) discovers in [[Theophrastus]] <span> (Hist. Plant. </span> 9:4), where the name <span> Mali </span> ( <span> Μάλι </span> ) occurs as that of a spice-bearing region. [[Perhaps]] the same is indicated in [[Eratosthenes]] (ap. Strabo, 16:1112) and [[Eustathius]] (ad Dionys. Periegetes, p. 288, ed. Bernhardy) by the Mincei ( <span> Μειναῖ </span> oi). [[So]] [[Diodorus]] Siculus (3, 42); but [[Ptolemy]] (6:7) distinguishes the Manitae ( <span> Μανῖται </span> ) from these, and at the same time refers to a village called <span> Manialia ( <span> Μάμαλα </span> <span> κώμη </span> ) </span> on the shore of the [[Red]] Sea. [[Hence]] Schneider proposes to read <span> Mamali (Μαμάλι </span> ) in the above passage of Theophrastus; perhaps we should rather read <span> [[Mani]] </span> ( <span> Μάνι </span> ), a natural interchange of liquids; and then we may compare a place mentioned by Abulfeda <span> (Arabia, </span> ed. Gaguier, p. 3, 42), called <span> Mlinay, </span> 3 miles from [[Mecca]] (Michaelis, <span> Spicileg. </span> 2:179 sq.). </p>
