agenealogétos: Without genealogy, without descent

Original Word: ἀγενεαλόγητος
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: agenealogétos
Pronunciation: ah-gen-eh-al-OG-ay-tos
Phonetic Spelling: (ag-en-eh-al-og'-ay-tos)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "agenealogétos," the concept can be related to the figure of Melchizedek, whose account is found in Genesis 14:18-20. The Hebrew term "מַלְכִּי־צֶדֶק" (Malki-Tzedek) refers to Melchizedek, the king of Salem and priest of God Most High.

Usage: The term "agenealogétos" is used to describe someone or something that does not have a recorded lineage or genealogy. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to emphasize the unique and eternal nature of certain figures, particularly in relation to the priesthood of Melchizedek, who is described as having no recorded ancestry, thus symbolizing an eternal and divine priesthood.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish culture, genealogy was of great importance, especially for establishing one's heritage, tribal affiliation, and eligibility for certain roles, such as the priesthood. The absence of a genealogy would be unusual and significant, often indicating a special status or divine appointment. The concept of being "without genealogy" is particularly relevant in the context of the priesthood, where lineage was typically crucial.
