Strong's Lexicon genealogeó: To trace ancestry, to record genealogy Original Word: γενεαλογέω Word Origin: From the Greek words γενεά (genea, meaning "generation") and λόγος (logos, meaning "word" or "account"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with genealogical records is יָחַשׂ (yachas, Strong's Hebrew 3187), which means "to enroll by genealogy." Usage: The verb γενεαλογέω refers to the act of tracing or recording genealogies. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the process of documenting family lineage, which was an important practice for establishing identity, heritage, and fulfilling certain religious and social functions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish culture, genealogies were crucial for several reasons. They established tribal affiliation, which was necessary for land inheritance and participation in religious duties. Genealogies also affirmed one's identity as part of God's chosen people, Israel. In the context of the New Testament, genealogies were significant for demonstrating Jesus Christ's fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah's lineage, particularly His descent from David.
