Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Seled, as it is a unique proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context.

Usage: Seled is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of a descendant of Jerahmeel, who was a member of the tribe of Judah. The name itself does not carry a specific meaning beyond its identification as a personal name.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the genealogical records of the Old Testament, names often held significant meaning, reflecting characteristics, hopes, or divine interactions. Seled, as a descendant of Jerahmeel, is part of the broader genealogical narrative that traces the lineage of the tribe of Judah. This tribe held a prominent place in Israel's history, being the tribe from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended. The genealogies served to establish identity, heritage, and fulfillment of God's promises to His people.
