JERAHMEEL, (Heb. " May God pity ")

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 322 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JERAHMEEL, (Heb. " May God pity ") , in the Bible, a. clan which with Caleb, the Kenites and others, occupied the southern steppes of Palestine, probably in the
district
  around Arad, about 17 M. S. of Hebron. It was on friendly terms with
David
  during his residence at Ziklag (I Sam. xxx. 29), and it was apparently in his reign that the various elements of the
south
  were united and were reckoned to
Israel
 . This is expressed in the chronicler's genealogies which make Jerahmeel and Caleb descendants of Judah (see
DAVID
 ; JUDAH).
On the names in 1 Chron. ii. see S. A. Cook, Ency. Bib., col. 2363 seq. Peleth (v. 33) may be the origin of the Pelethites (2 Sam. viii. 18; xv. 18; xx. 7), and since the name occurs in the revolt of Korah (Num. xvi. I), it is possible that Jerahmeel, like Caleb and the Kenites, had moved northwards from Kadesh. Samuel (q.v.) was of Jerahmeel (I Sam. i. 1; Septuagint), and the consecutive Jerahmeelite names Nathan and Zabad (i Chron. ii. 36) have been associated 'with the prophet and officer (Zabud, 1 Kings iv. 5) of the times of David and Solomon respectively. The association of Samuel and Nathan with this clan, if correct, is a further
illustration
  of the importance of the
south
  for the growth of biblical history (see KENIrES and RECHASIrss). The Chronicles of Jerahmeel (M. Gaster, Oriental
Translation
  Fund, 1899) is a
late
  production containing a number of apocryphal Jewish legends of no historical value. (S. A. C.)
Similarly a Syrian story tells how the
Druses
  came to slay Ibrahim Pasha's troops, and desiring to spare the' Syrians ordered the men to say gamal (camel). As the Syrians pronounce the g soft, and the Egyptians the g, hard, the former were easily identified. Other examples from the
East
  will be found in H. C. Kay, Faman, p. 36, and in S. Lane-Poole, History of
Egypt
  in the Middle Ages, p. 300. Also, at the Sicilian Vespers (March 13, 1282) the French were made to betray themselves by their pronunciation of ceci and ciceri (Ital. c like tch; Fr. c like s).
