Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Hod in the Strong's Greek concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew name without a direct Greek counterpart. However, the concept of "splendor" or "majesty" can be related to Greek terms such as δόξα (doxa), meaning "glory" or "splendor," which is Strong's Greek Number 1391.

Usage: The name Hod appears in genealogical contexts within the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the lineage of the tribe of Asher.

Context: • Hod is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Asher. In 1 Chronicles 7:37, Hod is listed among the descendants of Asher, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The passage reads: "Bezer, Hod, Shamma, Shilshah, Ithran, and Beera." This context places Hod within the broader narrative of the tribes of Israel, highlighting the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical text. The name itself, meaning "splendor" or "majesty," may reflect the perceived qualities or aspirations of the family or individual bearing the name. The genealogical records in Chronicles serve to establish the historical and familial connections among the tribes, underscoring the continuity of God's covenant with Israel through its people.
