Matred (personal name, Edomite)
The name of an Edomite woman, mother-in-law of King Hadar (or Hadad). She appears in the genealogical records of Edomite kings in Genesis 36 and its parallel in 1 Chronicles 1. Her inclusion in the royal genealogy is notable since mother-in-law relationships were less commonly recorded than direct lineage. The name itself may derive from roots suggesting 'chasing' or 'expelling,' though its precise etymology remains uncertain. Cross-linguistic evidence shows consistent transliteration of this proper name.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Personal name of the mother of Mehetabel, who was wife of Hadar/Hadad, an Edomite king (Genesis 36:39; 1 Chronicles 1:50). Her appearance in two parallel genealogies underscores her importance in Edomite royal lineage. The Greek Septuagint variations (Matraēth, Matrad) reflect attempts to render the Hebrew name. Cross-linguistic evidence shows direct transliteration as appropriate for this Edomite proper noun. 2×
