Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Arod, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context.

Usage: The name Arod appears in the context of genealogical records in the Hebrew Bible. It is used to identify a descendant of Gad, one of the twelve tribes of Israel.

Context: Arod is mentioned in the genealogical listings of the tribes of Israel. He is identified as one of the sons of Gad, who was one of the twelve sons of Jacob. The tribe of Gad was known for its warrior-like characteristics, and Arod, as a member of this tribe, would have been part of the larger narrative of the Israelites' journey and settlement in the Promised Land. The mention of Arod is found in the context of the census taken by Moses in the wilderness, as recorded in the Book of Numbers. In Numbers 26:17 (BSB), the text states: "These were the clans of Gad, and their registration numbered 40,500." Arod is listed among the descendants, contributing to the understanding of the tribal divisions and the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs regarding their descendants.
