Strong's Lexicon Almodad: Almodad Original Word: אַלְמוֹדָד Word Origin: Likely derived from a combination of Hebrew roots, possibly from "אַל" (al, meaning "not" or "God") and "מוֹדָד" (modad, meaning "beloved" or "measure"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Almodad in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. Usage: Almodad is a personal name found in the genealogies of the Bible. It is traditionally understood to mean "not measured" or "God is beloved." Almodad is listed as a descendant of Shem, the son of Noah, and is recognized as one of the early post-flood patriarchs. Cultural and Historical Background: Almodad is mentioned in the Table of Nations, a genealogical record found in Genesis 10, which outlines the descendants of Noah's sons and the spread of nations after the flood. This record is significant in understanding the ancient Near Eastern context and the origins of various peoples. Almodad is considered an ancestor of some of the early Semitic tribes, possibly linked to regions in the Arabian Peninsula.
