Dictionary of the Bible by James Hastings (1909) ↑

MEHUJAEL.—A Cainite (Gen 4:18) (J [Note: Jahwist.] ), corresponding to Mahalalel of P [Note: Priestly Narrative.] ’s genealogy (Gen 5:12 ff.).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia by James Orr (ed.) (1915) ↑

mḗ-hū´jā́-el (מחויאל, m^eḥūyā’ēl, מחיּאל, m^eḥı̄yā’ēl, “smitten of God”): A descendant of Cain through Enoch and Irad (Gen 4:18). The list in Gen 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).
