About Ammiel

Ammiel, the son of Gemalli, was a member of the tribe of Dan during the Israelites' journey through the wilderness. When Moses sent twelve spies to explore the land of Canaan, one from each tribe, Ammiel was chosen to represent the tribe of Dan. He was among the group that spent forty days scouting the land and brought back a report to Moses, Aaron, and the entire congregation of Israel.
