STRONGS NT 1678: Ἐλμωδάμ

Ἐλμωδάμ (Lachmann Ἐλμαδάμ, T Tr WH Ἐλμαδαμ (on the breathing in manuscripts see Tdf. Proleg., p. 107)), , Elmodam or Elmadam, proper name of one of the ancestors of Christ: Luke 3:28.

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: The name Ἐλμαδάμ is of Hebrew origin, derived from the Hebrew name אֶלְמֹדָם (Elmodam).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek name Ἐλμαδάμ corresponds to the Hebrew name אֶלְמֹדָם (Elmodam), though there is no direct entry for Elmodam in the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary. The name is primarily known through its Greek transliteration in the New Testament.

Usage: The name Elmadam appears in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. It is a part of the lineage that traces Jesus' ancestry back to Adam.

Context: Elmadam is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Luke. Specifically, Elmadam is listed in Luke 3:28, which traces the lineage of Jesus through his earthly father, Joseph, back to Adam. This genealogy is distinct from the one found in the Gospel of Matthew, which traces Jesus' lineage through King David and Solomon. The inclusion of Elmadam in Luke's genealogy highlights the comprehensive nature of Jesus' human ancestry, emphasizing His connection to all of humanity.

The genealogies in the Gospels serve to affirm Jesus' rightful place in Jewish history and His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah. Elmadam, as part of this lineage, contributes to the theological assertion of Jesus' identity as both fully divine and fully human. The name itself, meaning "God is beloved" or "God is a friend," reflects the intimate relationship between God and His people, a theme that is central to the message of the New Testament.
