Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Of uncertain origin; possibly derived from a non-Greek source, reflecting a name used in genealogical records.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Κόσαμ, as it appears solely in the Greek text of the New Testament. However, it is part of the broader tradition of genealogical names that are often rooted in Hebrew culture and history.

Usage: The name Κόσαμ appears in the genealogical records of the New Testament, specifically in the Gospel of Luke.

Context: Κόσαμ (Kosam) is a name found in the genealogical record of Jesus Christ as presented in the Gospel of Luke. In Luke 3:28, Kosam is listed as an ancestor of Jesus, situated within the lineage that traces back through David to Adam. The genealogy in Luke is distinct from that in Matthew, emphasizing a different line of descent, possibly through Mary, and highlighting Jesus' connection to all humanity. The inclusion of Kosam in this genealogy underscores the meticulous nature of the record-keeping and the fulfillment of prophetic lineage. The name itself does not appear elsewhere in the biblical text, and its origin remains uncertain, suggesting it may have been a common name or one of particular familial significance during the period.
