Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Strong's Greek entry is G2391, Ἰάρετ (Iaret), which is the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name Jered. This entry is used in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, to refer to the same individual.

Usage: Jered is used as a proper noun, specifically a personal name, in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: • Jered is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogies of the tribe of Judah. He is listed as a descendant of Judah through his son Hezron. Jered is noted in 1 Chronicles 4:18, where he is identified as the father of Gedor. The passage reads: "His Judean wife bore Jered the father of Gedor, Heber the father of Soco, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah." (BSB)
• The name Jered is associated with the idea of descent, which may reflect either a geographical or spiritual connotation in the context of the genealogies. The genealogical records in Chronicles often serve to establish the lineage and heritage of the tribes of Israel, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with His people through successive generations.
• Jered's mention in the genealogies highlights the importance of family lineage in the biblical narrative, particularly in the context of the tribe of Judah, from which significant biblical figures, including King David and ultimately Jesus Christ, are descended.
