Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name עָדִין (Adin), as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context.

Usage: The name Adin appears in the context of post-exilic genealogies and lists of returnees from the Babylonian exile. It is used to identify a family or clan that returned to Jerusalem.

Context: • Adin is mentioned in the context of the return from the Babylonian exile. The family of Adin is listed among those who returned to Jerusalem and Judah under the leadership of Zerubbabel. This is recorded in the book of Ezra: "The descendants of Adin, 454" (Ezra 2:15, BSB). The name also appears in the book of Nehemiah, where the descendants of Adin are again listed among the returnees: "The descendants of Adin, 655" (Nehemiah 7:20, BSB). The discrepancy in numbers between Ezra and Nehemiah may be attributed to different stages of the return or variations in record-keeping.
• Additionally, a member of the Adin family is noted in the context of those who sealed the covenant in Nehemiah 10:16 (BSB), indicating their commitment to the renewed covenant with God during the time of Nehemiah's reforms.
• The family of Adin is part of the broader narrative of the restoration of the Jewish community in Jerusalem, highlighting the continuity of the Israelite identity and faith after the exile.
