NEHELAMITE

Ancestral name or the geographical designation for Shemaiah the false prophet (Jer 29:24, 31-32 OET JER 29:24 · OET JER 29:31–32). Its derivation is unknown. Etymologically similar to the Hebrew word for “dream,” Nehelamite is perhaps an epithet coined by Jeremiah to deride Shemaiah, the false prophet, as a dreamer.

24 Yahweh told me to tell Shemayah (the Nehelami) this:

OET-RV JER 29:31

31 Send to all the exiles to tell them: This is what Yahweh says about Shemayah the Nehelami: Because Shemayah has prophesied to you all, even though I didn’t send him, and he made you trust what’s not true,

OET-RV JER 29:32

32 therefore Yahweh says this: Listen, I will punish Shemayah the Nehelami and his descendants. None of his family will live among this people, and he won’t experience the good things that I’ll do for my people, because he’s encouraged rebellion against Yahweh. That is Yahweh’s declaration.
