User:Dany Noumour Chamoun

The Chamoun family(English: Shamoun), one of the oldest families on this earth. Descendants of Abraham, son of Jacob, came Simeon. Simeon was the second son of Jacob and Leah and father of the tribe of Simeon, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The Hebrew meaning of his name means "Gracious Hearing". He and his brother Levi destroyed the entire village of Shechem in retribution for the rape of their sister Dinah (Genesis 34). Simeon was a part of the plot to sell his brother Joseph into slavery. After the family was invited to Egypt during the famine in Canaan, he was appointed as the individual to stay behind as collateral for Benjamin so that his brothers would return from Canaan.

Simeon was promised to see the messiah before his death. When Jesus was born, they took him to the Simeon temple, Simeon recognized him instantly.
