Mehujael Mehujael

Mehujael is the great-grandson of Cain.

The name Mehujael is a compilation of two elements. The first part comes from the verb maha (maha 1178, 1179) meaning wipe, wipe out(1178), and strike (1179). This same verb is used in Gen 6:7, where God plans to blot out mankind as it is at that time. The second part is el, the common abbreviation of Elohim, the genus God.

The name Mehujael means Destroyed of God (Jones), or Smitten of God (NOBSE).
