Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Elmadam, as it is a Greek transliteration of a name found only in the New Testament genealogy.

Usage: The name Elmadam appears in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. It is a proper noun used to identify an ancestor of Jesus, specifically mentioned in the lineage that traces Jesus' descent through Joseph, His legal father.

Cultural and Historical Background: Genealogies were of great importance in Jewish culture, serving to establish identity, heritage, and legal rights. The genealogy in Luke 3 is distinct from the one in Matthew 1, as it traces Jesus' lineage through a different line, possibly through Mary or a levirate marriage, emphasizing His connection to all humanity. The inclusion of Elmadam in this genealogy highlights the historical and theological significance of Jesus' human ancestry.
