Almodad, a South Arabian people descended from Joktan
A personal or tribal name appearing in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10 and 1 Chronicles 1) as the first son of Joktan, ancestor of various South Arabian peoples. BDB suggests the initial element may originally have been 'El' (the Sabaean god) rather than 'Al,' making the name mean 'God is loved.' The name represents one of several Joktanite tribes inhabiting southern Arabia in antiquity.

1. sense 1 — Multilingual transliteration is consistent: 'Almodad' in English, Spanish, French, and German, with French and German optionally bracketing Hebrew. The parallel occurrences in Genesis 10:26 and 1 Chronicles 1:20 preserve the same genealogical tradition of Joktan's thirteen sons, representing tribal groups whose territories extended across southern Arabia. The Table of Nations organizes humanity ethnographically, showing how all peoples descend from Noah's sons. 2×
