נְמוּאֵל

# Nemuel: A Marginal Biblical Figure Nemuel (נְמוּאֵל) is a Hebrew proper noun appearing only once in the biblical text. As a name rather than a common word with semantic range, it functions purely as a personal identifier without inherent meaning independent of its referent. The single occurrence of this name limits any analysis of its usage patterns or contextual significance. With only one attestation, no variation in spelling, application, or narrative function can be documented. The name appears to belong to the category of biblical personal names that were preserved in genealogical or historical records but played no substantial role in major biblical narratives or themes. Without additional occurrences or contextual details provided in the lexical data, Nemuel remains an obscure biblical name—likely a historical or genealogical notation rather than a figure of theological or narrative importance. Its presence in the biblical record indicates ancient name-keeping practices, but the single mention prevents meaningful analysis of its broader significance.
