Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עַז ('az), meaning "strong" or "fierce," and גָּד (gad), meaning "fortune" or "troop."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Azgad, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not appear in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: Azgad is used as a proper noun, specifically as the name of a family or clan that returned from the Babylonian exile.

Context: Azgad is a name mentioned in the context of the return from the Babylonian exile. The family of Azgad is listed among those who returned to Jerusalem and Judah under the leadership of Zerubbabel. This family is noted in the genealogical records of the returning exiles, highlighting their role in the restoration of the Jewish community in their ancestral homeland.

Ezra 2:12 (BSB): "the descendants of Azgad, 1,222;"
Nehemiah 7:17 (BSB): "the descendants of Azgad, 2,322;"
Ezra 8:12 (BSB): "From the descendants of Azgad, Johanan son of Hakkatan, and with him 110 men."

The discrepancy in numbers between Ezra 2:12 and Nehemiah 7:17 may be attributed to different stages of the return or variations in the records. The mention of Johanan son of Hakkatan in Ezra 8:12 suggests that the family of Azgad was significant enough to have a leader among those who returned with Ezra.

The family of Azgad is part of the larger narrative of the Jewish return from exile, a pivotal moment in Jewish history that underscores themes of restoration, faithfulness, and the fulfillment of God's promises to His people.
