Simeon (son of Jacob)

From BibleWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The second son of Jacob by Leah (Gen 29:33). He was associated with Levi in the terrible act of vengeance against Hamor and the Shechemites (Gen 34:25f). He was detained by Joseph in Egypt as a hostage (42:24). His father, when dying, pronounced a malediction against him (Gen 49:5ff). The words in the Authorized Version (49:6), "they digged down a wall," ought to be, as correctly rendered in the Revised Version, "they houghed an ox."

Gen 46:10 lists his sons as: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul.
