Meaning: a ruling; commanding; coming down · Male · 7 cross references
Jared, also written Jered, is the father of Enoch in the pre-flood line through Seth. He belongs to the sequence of early patriarchs preserved across Genesis, Chronicles, and Luke. First appears in Gen 5:15.1
AI summary: Jared matters because the cross references anchor him at the point where the line moves toward Enoch, one of the most distinctive early patriarchs. Though Jared himself is not given a dramatic episode, his place in the genealogy is carefully retained in multiple biblical witnesses. That continuity helps preserve the coherence of the primeval family line. Taken together, the material presents Jared as an early patriarch whose significance lies in carrying the ancestral record toward Enoch and beyond.1
