Σήμ G4590
Shem, Noah's eldest son, ancestor of the Semitic peoples including Abraham and the Hebrew nation
Shem received Noah's blessing after covering his father's nakedness, contrasting with Ham's dishonor (Genesis 9:26). His descendants populated the regions from Elam through Aram to Eber, from whom Hebrews derive their name. The Table of Nations (Genesis 10) traces Shem's line toward Abraham, making him the crucial link between the flood and Israel's patriarchs. Luke includes him in Jesus's genealogy (3:36), showing how God's salvation plan narrows from all humanity through Noah to one family line that would bless all nations.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Luke 3:36 places Shem (Σήμ) between Arphaxad and Noah in the genealogy ascending from Jesus. The name, from Hebrew שֵׁם meaning 'name' or 'renown,' gains theological significance from Noah's blessing: 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem.' The indeclinable Greek form shows Luke's reliance on Septuagint traditions. Shem represents the narrowing of promise from all humanity to the line through which the Messiah would come. 1×
