Mehujael

The name Mehujael means “who proclaims God”.

Easton's Bible Dictionary 1897

Smitten by God, the son of Irad, and father of Methusael (Gen. 4:18).

Smith's Bible Dictionary 1863

(smitten by God), the son of Irad, and fourth in descent from Cain. (Genesis 4:18)

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia 1915

me-hu'-ja-el (mechuya'el, mechiya'el, "smitten of God"): A descendant of Cain through Enoch and Irad (Ge 4:18). The list in Ge 5:12 ff is a working-over of the same material of genealogy by another hand at a different date of spelling (compare spelling of Chaucer and that of today). In that ease, Mehalalel would be the correspondent name to Mehujael (see Expository Times, X, 353).
