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

Context: Er is a name of Hebrew origin, appearing in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. In Matthew 1:3, Er is listed as the son of Judah and the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar. This genealogical mention connects the lineage of Jesus to the tribe of Judah, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah's descent. The name Er is also found in the Old Testament, where he is described as the firstborn of Judah, who was wicked in the sight of the Lord and was put to death (Genesis 38:7). The New Testament reference to Er serves to establish the continuity of the Messianic line from the patriarchs through to Jesus Christ, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promises through history.
