Strong's Lexicon genealogia: Genealogy Original Word: γενεαλογία Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: genealogia Pronunciation: gheh-neh-al-og-ee'-ah Phonetic Spelling: (ghen-eh-al-og-ee'-ah) Definition: genealogy. Meaning: The term γενεαλογία refers to a genealogy or a record of descent or lineage. It involves the tracing of family lines and ancestral history. Word Origin: Derived from γενεά (genea, meaning "generation") and λόγος (logos, meaning "word" or "study"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of genealogy in the Hebrew Bible is often associated with the word תּוֹלֵדוֹת (toledot, Strong's Hebrew 8435), which refers to generations or genealogical records. This term is used extensively in the book of Genesis to introduce genealogical lists and narratives that trace the lineage of significant biblical figures. Usage: The word γενεαλογία is used in the New Testament to refer to genealogical records or discussions about ancestry. It appears in contexts where the focus is on lineage and heritage, often highlighting the importance of understanding one's roots and the fulfillment of divine promises through specific family lines. Context: • The concept of γενεαλογία is significant in biblical texts, as genealogies serve to establish identity, heritage, and the fulfillment of God's promises through specific lineages. In the New Testament, γενεαλογία is mentioned in contexts that caution against becoming overly preoccupied with genealogical records to the detriment of faith and sound doctrine. • In 1 Timothy 1:4, Paul advises Timothy to avoid "myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculation rather than the stewardship of God's work, which is by faith" (BSB). This suggests that while genealogies have their place, they should not overshadow the core message of the gospel. • Similarly, in Titus 3:9, Paul warns against "foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the Law, because these are unprofitable and useless" (BSB). Here, the emphasis is on avoiding divisive debates that distract from the central tenets of Christian teaching. • Genealogies in the Bible, such as those found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, serve to affirm Jesus' messianic credentials by tracing His lineage back to key figures like Abraham and David, thus fulfilling Old Testament prophecies.
