Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for the Hebrew name Ladah, as it is a unique proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, genealogical names in the Greek Septuagint may have transliterations or adaptations, but these are not directly linked to a specific Strong's Greek number.

Usage: The name Ladah appears in genealogical records within the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the tribe of Judah.

Context: • Ladah is mentioned in the genealogical lists of the tribe of Judah. In 1 Chronicles 4:21, Ladah is identified as a descendant of Shelah, one of the sons of Judah. The passage reads: "The sons of Shelah son of Judah: Er the father of Lecah, Laadah the father of Mareshah, and the clans of the linen workers at Beth-ashbea." This reference places Ladah within the context of the post-exilic community, emphasizing the continuity of the tribe of Judah and its various family lines. The mention of Ladah in connection with Mareshah, a town in the lowlands of Judah, suggests a historical and geographical significance, highlighting the role of certain families in the economic and social life of the region. The association with linen workers indicates a possible involvement in the textile industry, which was an important aspect of ancient Judah's economy.
