Commentary on Genesis 46:10

Theological / Devotional

The sons of Simeon. Jemuel means “day of God”; Jamin, “right hand”; Ohad, “united”; Jachin, “he [God] establishes”; Zohar, “whiteness” or “brilliance”; and Shaul, “asked for.”

Canaanitish woman. The reference to one of the sons of Simeon as “the son of a Canaanitish woman” implies that it was not the custom of the sons of Jacob to take wives from among the Canaanites. As a rule they were chosen from the paternal relatives in Mesopotamia, the families of Ishmael, the Keturah sons, or Esau. Only Simeon and Judah (ch. 38:2) seem to have had Canaanite wives.
