Senses in use

  1. Simeon-associated tribal designation · dominant

    All four occurrences use the form as a masculine singular gentilicial designation within Simeon-related groupings. In Numbers 25:14 the APB renders a leader of a Simeonite father's house; in Numbers 26:14 it renders the clans of the Simeonites; Joshua 21:4 names the tribe of Simeon in an allotment list; and 1 Chronicles 27:16 refers to the Simeonites among Israel's tribes and their leader.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the designation through group labels: “Simeonite father's house,” “Simeonites,” and “tribe of Simeon.” These renderings show the clauses' presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent for the form.
