Ἰωρείμ, , indeclinable, Jorim, one of the ancestors of Christ: Luke 3:29.

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name יוֹרִים (Yorim)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek name Ἰωρείμ corresponds to the Hebrew name יוֹרִים (Yorim), though the specific Hebrew entry number is not directly provided in Strong's Concordance. The name is related to the Hebrew root יָרָה (yarah), meaning "to throw" or "to cast," which can also imply "to teach" or "to instruct," reflecting a possible etymological background for the name.

Usage: The name Ἰωρείμ appears in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Luke.

Context: The name Ἰωρείμ (Jorim) is found in the New Testament within the genealogical record of Jesus Christ. Specifically, it appears in Luke 3:29, which traces the lineage of Jesus through his supposed father, Joseph, back to Adam. In this genealogy, Jorim is listed as an ancestor of Jesus, situated between Matthat and Eliezer. The inclusion of Jorim in this genealogy highlights the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah's lineage, emphasizing Jesus' rightful place within the Davidic line and his connection to the broader history of Israel.

The genealogies in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke serve different theological purposes. Luke's genealogy, where Jorim is mentioned, is often understood to emphasize Jesus' universal mission and his connection to all humanity, tracing his lineage back to Adam. This contrasts with Matthew's genealogy, which focuses more on Jesus' legal right to the throne of David, beginning with Abraham.

The name Jorim itself is not accompanied by any specific narrative or additional details in the biblical text, and thus, little is known about this individual outside of his mention in the genealogy. The presence of Jorim in the genealogy underscores the continuity of God's redemptive plan through generations, culminating in the birth of Jesus Christ.
