Jump to: Hitchcock's • Smith's • ISBE • Concordance • Thesaurus • Greek • Library • Subtopics • Terms Topical Encyclopedia Jorim is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. His name appears in the lineage that traces Jesus' ancestry through David, highlighting the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah's descent from the house of David.Biblical Reference: Jorim is mentioned in the New Testament in the Gospel of Luke. The specific reference is found in Luke 3:29, which states: "the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi" . This passage is part of the genealogy that Luke provides, which traces Jesus' lineage back to Adam, emphasizing His connection to all humanity. Genealogical Context: The genealogy in Luke is distinct from the one found in the Gospel of Matthew. While Matthew traces Jesus' lineage through Joseph, focusing on the legal right to the throne of David, Luke's genealogy is often understood to trace through Mary, providing a biological lineage. This distinction is significant in understanding the dual nature of Jesus' heritage—both legal and biological. Jorim's placement in the genealogy is part of the broader narrative that underscores Jesus' rightful place as the promised Messiah. By including figures like Jorim, the Gospel of Luke affirms the continuity of God's covenantal promises through generations, culminating in the birth of Jesus Christ. Name Meaning and Significance: The name "Jorim" is of Hebrew origin, and while its exact meaning is not definitively known, it is often associated with meanings such as "Jehovah is exalted" or "the Lord is high." Names in biblical genealogies often carry theological significance, reflecting attributes of God or aspects of His relationship with His people. Theological Implications: Jorim's inclusion in the genealogy of Jesus serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness in preserving the line through which the Savior would come. Each name in the genealogy represents a link in the chain of God's redemptive plan, demonstrating His sovereignty and providence throughout history. The genealogies in the Gospels, including the mention of Jorim, also highlight the humanity of Jesus. By tracing His lineage through historical figures, the Gospels affirm that Jesus was fully human, sharing in the experiences and heritage of His ancestors, while also being fully divine. Conclusion: While Jorim is not a prominent figure in biblical narratives, his mention in the genealogy of Jesus underscores the importance of every individual in God's unfolding plan of salvation. Through Jorim and others, the Gospel of Luke presents a comprehensive picture of Jesus' heritage, affirming His identity as the promised Messiah and the fulfillment of God's promises to His people.
