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

Context: Σαλά (Salá) is a name found in the New Testament, specifically in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. In Luke 3:35, Σαλά is listed as an ancestor of Jesus, being the son of Cainan and the father of Eber. This genealogical record traces the lineage of Jesus back to Adam, emphasizing the fulfillment of messianic prophecies and the divine plan of salvation through Jesus Christ.

The name Σαλά corresponds to the Old Testament figure Shelah, who is mentioned in the genealogies of Genesis 10:24 and 11:12-15. Shelah is a descendant of Shem, one of Noah's sons, and is part of the line through which the Hebrew people trace their ancestry. The inclusion of Σαλά in the genealogy of Jesus highlights the continuity of God's covenantal promises from the Old Testament to the New Testament.

The genealogical record in Luke serves to affirm the historical and theological significance of Jesus' lineage, connecting Him to the patriarchs and underscoring His rightful place as the promised Messiah. The use of Σαλά in this context reflects the importance of genealogies in establishing identity and heritage within the biblical narrative.
