Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek name Ναγγαί corresponds to the Hebrew name נַגַּי (Naggay), which is not directly listed in the Old Testament but is part of the genealogical tradition preserved in Jewish history and literature.

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

Context: Naggai is a figure mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. In Luke 3:25, Naggai is listed as an ancestor of Jesus, situated in the lineage between Mattathias and Maath. This genealogy traces the legal lineage of Jesus through Joseph, His earthly father, back to Adam, emphasizing Jesus' rightful place in the Davidic line and His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah. The inclusion of Naggai in this genealogy highlights the continuity of God's redemptive plan through history, as each name represents a link in the chain leading to the birth of Jesus Christ. The genealogies in the Bible serve not only as historical records but also as theological affirmations of God's faithfulness to His promises.
