Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Of Hebrew origin, corresponding to the Hebrew name שַׂלְמוֹן (Salmon).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H8012 שַׂלְמוֹן (Salmon): The Hebrew equivalent of the Greek Σαλμών, referring to the same individual in the Old Testament genealogies.

Usage: The name Salmon appears in the genealogies of Jesus Christ, specifically in the context of the lineage of David. It is used in the New Testament to trace the ancestry of Jesus, highlighting the fulfillment of messianic prophecies.

Context: Salmon is a significant figure in the genealogical records of the Bible, appearing in the lineage of Jesus Christ. He is mentioned in the New Testament in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke. Salmon is noted as the father of Boaz, who married Ruth, a Moabite woman. This union is significant as it demonstrates the inclusion of Gentiles into the lineage of the Messiah, emphasizing the universal scope of God's redemptive plan.

In the Gospel of Matthew 1:4-5 (BSB), Salmon is listed as an ancestor of Jesus: "Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon. Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse." This passage highlights the continuity of God's covenantal promises through the generations leading to the birth of Jesus.

Salmon's marriage to Rahab, a former Canaanite prostitute who aided the Israelites in Jericho, further underscores the theme of redemption and grace. Rahab's faith and subsequent inclusion in the Israelite community exemplify God's mercy and the transformative power of faith.

The genealogical record in Luke 3:32 (BSB) also includes Salmon, affirming his role in the Davidic line: "the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon." This lineage is crucial for establishing Jesus' rightful claim to the throne of David, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah's descent.
