Jamin יָמִין
Son of Simeon, grandson of Jacob
Biography
Jamin was one of the sons of Simeon, the second son of Israel (or 'Jacob') and Leah, as recorded in Gen.46.10, Exo.6.15, and 1Ch.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 (Gen.46.27). In Num.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.
