Strong's Lexicon Salmon: Salmon Original Word: שַׂלְמוֹן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be shady Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Σαλμών (Salmon) - Strong's Greek 4533 Usage: Salmon is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a specific individual. In the genealogies of the Bible, Salmon is noted as an ancestor of King David and, by extension, Jesus Christ. He is recognized as the father of Boaz, who married Ruth, and is thus an important figure in the lineage of the Davidic line. Cultural and Historical Background: Salmon lived during the period of the Judges, a time characterized by a decentralized tribal society in ancient Israel. He is traditionally understood to be one of the Israelites who entered the Promised Land under Joshua's leadership. Salmon's marriage to Rahab, a former Canaanite prostitute from Jericho who converted to the faith of Israel, is significant as it highlights the inclusivity of God's covenant community and the transformative power of faith.
