Ἐλιούδ G1664
Eliud, ancestor of Jesus in Matthew's genealogy
This proper name appears in Matthew 1:14-15, referring to an ancestor of Jesus in the post-exilic period. Eliud stands in the genealogical line between Achim and Eleazar. Little is known of this individual beyond his placement in Jesus' lineage. The name does not appear in Old Testament genealogies, suggesting Matthew may have had access to additional genealogical records.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Referring to a post-exilic ancestor in the Davidic line, this name appears twice in Matthew 1:14-15 as the genealogy moves from Babylonian exile toward Joseph. The transliterations vary (Eliud in German and English, Élioud in French) as they render a Hebrew name through Greek. His inclusion emphasizes the continuity of Davidic lineage through obscure generations. 2×
