Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Of Hebrew origin, corresponding to the Hebrew name נֵרִי (Neri).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Hebrew entry for Neri is Strong's Hebrew 5379, נֵרִי (Neri), which is a variant of נֵר (Ner), meaning "lamp" or "light." This name is also found in the Old Testament, where Ner is the father of Kish and the grandfather of King Saul, though this is a different individual from the Neri mentioned in Luke's genealogy.

Usage: The name Neri appears in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Luke.

Context: Neri is mentioned in the New Testament in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, specifically in the Gospel of Luke. In Luke 3:27, Neri is listed as an ancestor of Jesus, being the father of Shealtiel. This genealogy traces the lineage of Jesus through David's son Nathan, rather than Solomon, which is the line followed in the Gospel of Matthew. The inclusion of Neri in this genealogy highlights the fulfillment of the Messianic prophecies, demonstrating Jesus' rightful place in the line of David. The genealogical record in Luke emphasizes Jesus' legal and royal heritage, underscoring His role as the promised Messiah. Neri's mention, though brief, is significant in establishing the continuity of God's covenantal promises through the generations.
