Description
Who was Kemuel?
Kemuel is mentioned in Gen.22.21 as one of the sons of Nahor and Milcah. Nahor was Abraham's brother, making Kemuel Abraham's nephew.
In the genealogy of Nahor's family, Kemuel is listed alongside his brothers Huz, Buz, Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, and Jidlaph (Gen.22.20-21). He is specifically identified as the father of Aram.
The mention of Kemuel and his lineage is part of the broader narrative of Abraham's family and the descendants of his brother Nahor. It provides insight into the family background and the relatives of Abraham.
Apart from this genealogical note, no further information is given about Kemuel's life, his relationship with Abraham, or any significant events involving him.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
The 10 best-attested of 14 are drawn. All 14 are listed below.
Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
