Etymology
One may compare the Book of Mormon PN LEMUEL with biblical Hebrew PN למואל lĕmūʾel, LEMUEL, Proverbs 31:1, 4, composed of lĕmô plus ʾēl, meaning "belonging to God,"[1] and possibly analogous to the biblical PN lāʾēl, “belonging to God,” in Numbers 3:24.[2] Note the Edomite PN LEMUEL at Proverbs 31:1, “The Words of LEMUEL, King of Massa" (NAB).[3]
Reynolds and Sjodahl (1:26) give the meaning “Godward” or “God is bright.”
There are at least three proposed loci for Valley of Lemuel within the northwest Arabic Hijaz (Midian):[4]
1. Wadi al-Badʼ (preferred by Hilton & Hilton) -- an oasis located in the vicinity of Jebel al-Lawz (sometimes a candidate for Mt. Horeb), and near some caves and Nabataean ruins.[5]
2. Wadi Bir Marsha (preferred by Jeff Chadwick).[6]
3. Wadi Tayyib al-Ism (favored by Wellington & Potter, and Aston), with a perennial stream near al-Maqna.[7]
