Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Of Hebrew origin, derived from the Hebrew name עָזוּר (Azur).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The name Azor is related to the Hebrew name עָזוּר (Azur), which is not directly listed in Strong's Hebrew Dictionary but can be associated with entries like H5809 (עָזוּר, Azur), meaning "helper" or "one who assists."

Usage: The name Azor appears in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the New Testament. It is specifically mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew.

Context: Azor is a figure listed in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, as presented in the Gospel of Matthew. He is mentioned as an ancestor in the line of Joseph, the husband of Mary, through whom Jesus was legally descended. The genealogy in Matthew 1:13-14 reads: "Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor, Azor the father of Zadok." This passage situates Azor in the post-exilic period, a time when the Jewish people were returning from Babylonian captivity and re-establishing their community in Judea. The inclusion of Azor in the genealogy highlights the continuity of God's covenantal promises through the generations, culminating in the birth of Jesus, the Messiah. The genealogical record serves to affirm Jesus' legitimate claim to the throne of David, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies regarding the lineage of the Messiah.
