Mehujael

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

mḗ - hū´jā́ - el ( מחויאל , meḥūyā'ēl , מחיּאל , meḥı̄yā'ēl , "smitten of God"): A descendant of Cain through Enoch and Irad ( Genesis 4:18 ). The list in Genesis 5:12 ff is a working-over of the same material of genealogy by another hand at a different date of spelling (compare spelling of Chaucer and that of today). In that ease, Mehalalel would be the correspondent name to Mehujael (see Expository Times, X, 353).
