Arod, the progenitor of this clan, is mentioned in the genealogies of the Israelites as a son of Gad (<a href="/genesis/46-16.htm">Genesis 46:16</a>). The tribe of Gad was known for its warrior-like characteristics, as seen in the blessing of Jacob in <a href="/genesis/49-19.htm">Genesis 49:19</a>, where Gad is described as being attacked by raiders but overcoming them. This reflects the historical context of the tribe, which settled in the Transjordan region, an area often subject to conflict due to its location. The Arodites, as part of Gad, would have shared in the responsibilities and challenges of defending their territory. The name "Arod" itself is not widely mentioned outside of genealogical records, but it contributes to the understanding of the tribal structure and the importance of family lineage in Israelite society.<p><b>and the Arelite clan from Areli</b><br>The Arelite clan descends from Areli, another son of Gad, as recorded in <a href="/genesis/46-16.htm">Genesis 46:16</a>. The mention of Areli and his descendants highlights the detailed record-keeping and importance of family heritage among the Israelites. The tribe of Gad, including the Arelites, played a significant role in the conquest and settlement of the Promised Land, as described in the book of Joshua. The Gadites, including the Arelites, were known for their valor and strength, which is echoed in <a href="/1_chronicles/12-8.htm">1 Chronicles 12:8</a>, where the Gadites are described as brave warriors. The cultural context of the time placed great emphasis on tribal identity and the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs, which included the multiplication and settlement of their descendants. The Arelites, like other clans, would have been integral to the fulfillment of these divine promises, contributing to the larger narrative of Israel's history and God's covenantal faithfulness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/arod.htm">Arod</a></b><br>Arod is one of the sons of Gad, who was one of the twelve sons of Jacob (Israel).
