Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Serug, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew genealogies. However, genealogical references in the New Testament, such as those in Luke 3:35, may indirectly correspond to this entry.

Usage: Serug is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is used to refer to a descendant of Shem, the son of Noah, and is part of the genealogical line leading to Abraham. The name may imply a sense of "intertwining" or "connection," possibly reflecting the interconnectedness of family lines or the weaving together of history.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the genealogies of Genesis, names often carry significant meanings or reflect characteristics of the individuals or their times. Serug lived during the post-Flood era, a time when humanity was repopulating and spreading across the earth. This period was marked by the development of early civilizations and the establishment of familial and tribal identities. Serug's lineage is significant as it leads to Abraham, the patriarch of the Israelites, and thus holds a crucial place in the narrative of God's covenantal promises.
