Question
Hi there,
Could you tell me what Shelumiel (mentioned several times in Numbers) did? I have found his name mentioned ONLY in Numbers, including 1:6 and 7:36. I have pasted the definition and some information of schlemiel/shlemiel from dictionary.com below. Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Carmen

-------------------------------------------------[Yiddish shlemíl, perhaps from Hebrew lmî'l, my well-being is God, Shelumiel (a character in the Bible, Numbers 7:36) : lmî, my well-being (lôm, well-being; see lm in Semitic Roots + -î, my) + 'l, God; see l in Semitic Roots.]
The only thing I could find was an entry in a Bible dictionary: Shelumiel (she\\®-lu\\'mž-e¬l). [Heb. SheluméÆÕel, “God is my peace.” The name is attested on an ancient Hebrew seal as ShmÕl.] The prince of the tribe of Simeon early in the wilderness wanderings (Num 1:6; 2:12; 7:36, 41; 10:19).
