Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Yered (Jared) in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogies.

Usage: The name Yered (Jared) is used in the Hebrew Bible as a proper noun referring to a specific individual. It is traditionally understood to mean "descent" or "he who descends." In the genealogies of Genesis, Jared is noted as a patriarch in the line from Adam to Noah.

Cultural and Historical Background: Jared is a pre-flood figure mentioned in the genealogies of Genesis. He is the father of Enoch, who is notable for "walking with God" and being taken by God (Genesis 5:24). The genealogies in Genesis serve to connect the creation narrative with the account of the flood, providing a lineage that underscores the continuity of God's plan through successive generations. Jared's long lifespan, typical of antediluvian patriarchs, reflects the biblical theme of longevity before the flood.
