Strong's Lexicon Tulon or Tilon: Tilon Original Word: תּוּלוֹן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to support or sustain. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Tilon, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun. However, genealogical names in the New Testament, such as those found in the genealogies of Jesus in Matthew 1 and Luke 3, serve a similar purpose in tracing lineage and fulfilling prophecy. Usage: Tilon is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of a descendant of Judah, specifically one of the sons of Shimon, who is listed among the genealogies of the tribe of Judah. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, genealogies were crucial for establishing tribal identities, inheritance rights, and fulfilling covenantal promises. The tribe of Judah held particular significance as it was prophesied to be the lineage through which the Messiah would come (Genesis 49:10). Names like Tilon, though not extensively detailed in biblical narratives, contribute to the broader tapestry of Israel's history and the fulfillment of God's promises to His people.
