The following genealogy was corrected on 11/19/2014 This passage discusses the descendants of Simeon who like his brothers was the 23rd generation from Adam. Simeon's tribe did not achieve the size or rank that Judah's did. In fact, many of the names encountered in this portion of scripture are the names of cities and villages that the tribe inhabited and not the names of descendants. Like previous passages there are still names of individuals that cannot be placed directly on the family tree under their parents' names or even given a numerical designation.
22. Israel
23. Simeon
24. Nemuel
24. Jamin
24. Jarib
24. Zerah
24. Shaul
24. Shallum
24. Mibsam
24. Mishma
26. Hamuel
26. Zacchur
26. Shimei
27. 16 sons and six daughters (not specifically
named)
