Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 4533: Σαλμών (Salmon), which corresponds to the Hebrew Salmah, used in the genealogies of Jesus in the New Testament (e.g., Matthew 1:4-5, Luke 3:32).

Usage: Salmah is used as a personal name in the genealogies of the Bible, specifically in the lineage of Judah.

Context: Salmah is a figure mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. He is identified as the father of Boaz, making him an ancestor of King David and, by extension, part of the Messianic lineage leading to Jesus Christ. Salmah is also referred to as Salmon in some biblical passages. His mention is significant in the context of the genealogies that trace the lineage of the Davidic line, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promises through the generations. The name Salmah appears in the context of the post-exilic period, highlighting the continuity of the Israelite heritage and the divine plan through the family of Judah.

In the Berean Standard Bible, Salmah is mentioned in the following passages:
Ruth 4:20-21: "Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, Nahshon was the father of Salmon, Salmon was the father of Boaz."
1 Chronicles 2:11: "Nahshon was the father of Salma, and Salma was the father of Boaz."

These references underscore Salmah's role in the genealogical record, linking him to significant biblical figures and events. His inclusion in the genealogies serves as a testament to the faithfulness of God's covenant with Israel and the unfolding of His redemptive plan through history.
