Jamin

SimeonEnglish

A man from the tribe of Simeon living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Gen.46.10.

Jamin was one of the sons of Simeon, the second son of Israel (or 'Jacob') and Leah, as recorded inGenesis 46:10,Exodus 6:15, and1 Chronicles 4:24. He was born in Canaan and went down to Egypt with his father and grandfather as part of the seventy members of Jacob's household (Genesis 46:27). InNumbers 26:12, Jamin is mentioned as one of the clans of Simeon, suggesting that his descendants formed a significant subgroup within the tribe. The Bible does not provide any further details about Jamin's life or his role in the events of the Israelites' history.
