Kemuel Kemuel

The name Kemuel is assigned three times in the Bible. The first Kemuel mentioned is a son of Nahor with Milcah. Others are an Ephraimite leader (Num 34:24) and a Levite leader in the days of David (1 Chr 27:17).

The name Kemuel is a compilation of two elements: The first part comes from the verb qama (qamah 1999b) meaning (Fuerst) standing grain (Deut 16:9; 23:26; Jud 15:5), from the general idea to collect, to consist, to endure (TWOTOT : a physical or figuratively rising up). The second part is el, the common abbreviation of Elohim, the genus God.

The whole name means The Congregation of God (NOBSE), perhaps bringing to mind the harvest of Matt 9:37.
