Jeremiah 29:24

The Lord had a message for Shemaiah the Nehelamite, too. There are no other references to this man in the Bible. "Nehelamite" may come from the Hebrew word halam, meaning "to dream." Thus this may be a nickname for him: the dreamer (cf. Jeremiah 29:8; Jeremiah 27:9). [Note: Thompson, p. 549.] This word could also be the name of his family or birthplace, though no other families or places of that name are known.
