It refers to an ancestor of Jesus, specifically mentioned in the lineage that traces back to the patriarchs. The name is used to connect Jesus to the promises given to the patriarchs, emphasizing His rightful place in the line of David and Abraham.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In Jewish tradition, genealogies were crucial for establishing identity, heritage, and legitimacy. They were particularly important for the Messiah, who was prophesied to come from the line of David. The inclusion of Rhagau in the genealogy highlights the continuity of God's covenantal promises through generations. This reflects the Jewish emphasis on lineage and the fulfillment of prophecy through Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Hebrew origin <a href="/hebrew/7466.htm">Reu</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Reu, an ancestor of Christ<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Reu (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4466: Ραγαυ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Ραγαυ</span></span> (so <span class="manuref">WH</span>) or <span class="greek2">Ραγαυ</span> (<span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span>) (<span class="hebrew">רְעוּ</span> (i. e.
