Strong's Lexicon Chadlay: Hadlai Original Word: חַדְלַי Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning "to be dark" or "to be hidden." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Hadlai, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of lineage and genealogy is present in the Greek New Testament, such as in the genealogies of Jesus found in Matthew 1 and Luke 3. Usage: The name Hadlai is used in the Bible as a proper noun referring to a specific individual. It is not a common name and appears in a genealogical context. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Hebrew culture, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of personal characteristics, familial lineage, or divine attributes. The name Hadlai, though not widely used, would have been understood within the context of its root meaning, possibly suggesting themes of concealment or obscurity. The genealogical records in which Hadlai appears reflect the importance of lineage and heritage in Israelite society, where family ties and tribal affiliations were central to identity and social structure.
