However, it is possible that "Eked" could be a transliteration or a variant spelling of a name or term that appears in ancient manuscripts or non-canonical texts. In the context of a Bible Encyclopedia or Topical Bible, it is important to explore potential connections or similar terms that might provide insight into its significance or relevance.<br><br><b>Possible Connections:</b><br><br>1. <b>Ekdah or Eker</b>: It is conceivable that "Eked" could be a variant of names such as Ekdah or Eker, which are found in genealogical records in the Old Testament. For instance, Eker is mentioned as one of the descendants of Judah: "The sons of Ram the firstborn of Jerahmeel: Maaz, Jamin, and Eker" (<a href="/1_chronicles/2-27.htm">1 Chronicles 2:27</a>). These genealogies highlight the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promises through specific family lines.<br><br>2. <b>Etymological Considerations</b>: The Hebrew root "ʿqd" (עָקַד) can mean "to bind" or "to tie," which might suggest a thematic or symbolic connection if "Eked" is derived from a similar root. This root is notably used in the context of the binding of Isaac (the Akedah) in <a href="/bsb/genesis/22.htm">Genesis 22</a>, where Abraham is tested by God. The narrative of the Akedah is a profound moment of faith and obedience, illustrating the depth of Abraham's trust in God's promises.<br><br>3. <b>Non-Canonical Texts</b>: In some cases, names or terms not found in the canonical Bible may appear in apocryphal or pseudepigraphal writings. These texts, while not considered authoritative in the same way as the canonical Scriptures, can provide cultural or historical context that enriches our understanding of the biblical world.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>While "Eked" itself does not appear in the Bible, exploring its potential connections can lead to a deeper understanding of biblical themes such as faith, obedience, and the significance of names and genealogies. The Bible often uses names to convey character, destiny, or divine purpose, and understanding these can enhance one's appreciation of the biblical narrative.<br><br>In summary, while "Eked" is not a recognized biblical term, examining related names and concepts can provide valuable insights into the broader biblical context and the unfolding of God's redemptive plan throughout Scripture.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Eke.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/1044.htm"><span class="l">1044.
