Usage: The name Σημεῖν appears in the genealogical records of Jesus Christ, as found in the Gospel of Luke. It is part of the lineage that traces Jesus' ancestry.

Context: Σημεῖν (Semein) is mentioned in the New Testament in the context of the genealogy of Jesus Christ. This name appears in Luke 3:26, where it is listed among the ancestors of Jesus. The genealogy in Luke traces the lineage of Jesus through his legal father, Joseph, back to Adam, emphasizing Jesus' connection to all humanity. The inclusion of Semein in this genealogy highlights the historical and theological significance of Jesus' human ancestry, fulfilling the prophetic and covenantal promises made to the patriarchs. The genealogies in the Gospels serve to affirm Jesus' rightful place in the line of David, underscoring His messianic credentials and His role as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.
