Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for the Hebrew name Kesed, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, genealogical names in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) are often transliterated, maintaining their Hebrew form.

Usage: The name Kesed appears in genealogical contexts within the Hebrew Bible, specifically in relation to the family of Nahor.

Context: • Kesed is mentioned in the genealogies of the patriarchal narratives. He is identified as one of the sons of Nahor, who was the brother of Abraham. This places Kesed within the broader context of the Abrahamic family line, which is significant in the narrative of the Hebrew Bible as it traces the lineage and heritage of the Israelite people.
• The name Kesed is found in Genesis 22:22, where Nahor's descendants are listed. The passage reads: "Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel." (BSB)
• The mention of Kesed in the genealogical record highlights the expansion and growth of Nahor's family, which is consistent with the meaning of the root from which Kesed is derived, suggesting increase or multiplication.
• The genealogies serve to establish connections between different family groups and tribes, and Kesed's inclusion underscores the interconnectedness of the families descended from Terah, the father of both Abraham and Nahor.
