Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


a-bim?a-el, ab-i-mā?el (אבימאל, 'ăbhı̄mā'ēl, ?my father is God,? or ?God is father?): The ninth of the thirteen sons of Joktan, who was descendant of Shem, and son of Eber, and brother of Peleg in whose days the earth was divided (Gen_10:25-29; 1Ch_1:19-23). Like some of the other names in this list, the name is linguistically south Arabian, and the tribes indicated are south Arabians. On the Arabic elements in Hebrew proper names see Hal?vy, M?langes d'?pigraphie et d'arch?ologie s?mitiques; ZDMG, especially early in 1883; D. H. M?ller, Epigraphie Denkmaler aus Arabien; Glaser, Skizze der Gesch. und Geog. Arabiens; and by index Hommel, Ancient Hebrew Tradition; and Gray, Hebrew Proper Names; and F.

Abimael
(Heb. Abimael', אֲבַימָאֵל, father of Mael; Sept. Α᾿βιμαέλ, Α᾿βιμιεήλ, Josephus Α᾿βιμάηλος), one of the sons of Joktan in Arabia (Gen_10:28; 1Ch_1:22). B.C. post 2414. SEE ARABIA. He was probably the father or founder of an Arabian tribe called Maal (מָאֵל, of unknown origin), a trace of which Bochart (Phaleg, 2:24) discovers in Theophrastus (Hist. Plant. 9:4), where the name Mali (Μάλι) occurs as that of a spice-bearing region. Perhaps the same is indicated in Eratosthenes (ap. Strabo, 16:1112) and Eustathius (ad Dionys. Periegetes, p. 288, ed. Bernhardy) by the Mincei (Μειναῖoi). So Diodorus Siculus (3, 42); but Ptolemy (6:7) distinguishes the Manitae (Μανῖται) from these, and at the same time refers to a village called Manialia (Μάμαλα κώμη) on the shore of the Red Sea. Hence Schneider proposes to read Mamali (Μαμάλι) in the above passage of Theophrastus; perhaps we should rather read Mani (Μάνι), a natural interchange of liquids; and then we may compare a place mentioned by Abulfeda (Arabia, ed. Gaguier, p. 3, 42), called Mlinay, 3 miles from Mecca (Michaelis, Spicileg. 2:179 sq.).
