Strong's Lexicon obed: Obed Original Word: אֹבֵד Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָבַד (ʿābad), meaning "to work" or "to serve." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5601 (Ὠβήδ, ōbēd): The Greek transliteration of Obed, used in the genealogies of Jesus in the New Testament (e.g., Matthew 1:5, Luke 3:32). Usage: The name "Obed" means "servant" or "worshiper." In the Bible, Obed is most notably recognized as the son of Boaz and Ruth, and the grandfather of King David. The name signifies a life dedicated to service and worship, reflecting the character and legacy of the individuals who bore it. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes prophetic or descriptive of a person's character or destiny. Obed, as the son of Boaz and Ruth, represents the continuation of a divinely orchestrated lineage that leads to King David and ultimately to Jesus Christ, according to the genealogies presented in the Gospels. The account of Obed's family is a testament to God's providence and the inclusion of Gentiles into His covenant community, as Ruth was a Moabite.
