Almodad

Meaning: measure of God · Male · 2 cross references

Almodad is one of the sons or descendants of Joktan in the table of nations and its Chronicler parallel. He belongs to the wider post-flood mapping of peoples that extends Scripture's horizon far beyond Israel alone. First appears in Gen 10:26.1

AI summary: Almodad matters because the cross references preserve his place in the structured genealogy through which the descendants of Shem are distributed across lands and peoples. Even without narrative detail, his inclusion contributes to the Bible's large-scale vision of humanity organized by remembered family lines. Taken together, the material presents Almodad as a Joktanite ancestral figure whose place helps extend the biblical geography of nations.1
