Context: Ἡσλί (Hesli) is a name found in the genealogical records of the New Testament, specifically in the Gospel of Luke. In Luke 3:28, Hesli is listed as an ancestor in the lineage of Jesus Christ. This genealogy traces the legal and royal lineage of Jesus, emphasizing His rightful place in the line of David and Abraham, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah's descent.

Each name in the genealogy serves as a testament to God's faithfulness in preserving the line through which the Savior of the world would come.
