This name is often associated with the idea of mission or extension, reflecting the generational continuity in biblical genealogies.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Sala is mentioned in the genealogies of the Bible, specifically in the context of the lineage from Noah to Abraham. In the Berean Standard Bible, Sala is referred to in the genealogical records found in the New Testament, which trace the ancestry of Jesus Christ.<br><br><b>Genealogical Significance:</b> <br>Sala is listed as a descendant of Shem, one of Noah's sons, and is an ancestor of Abraham. This places Sala in the line through which the promises of God to Abraham would eventually be fulfilled. The genealogical record in the Gospel of Luke provides a detailed lineage from Adam to Jesus, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's covenantal promises through history.<br><br><b>Scriptural Citations:</b><br><br>· <b><a href="/luke/3-35.htm">Luke 3:35-36</a> :</b> "the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Sala, the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech."<br><br>In this passage, Sala is positioned as a key link in the genealogy that connects the patriarchs to the Messiah, underscoring the divine orchestration of salvation history.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b> <br>The inclusion of Sala in the genealogy of Jesus highlights the continuity of God's redemptive plan from the earliest times. It underscores the faithfulness of God in preserving a lineage through which the Savior of the world would come. This genealogical record serves as a testament to the unfolding of divine promises and the meticulous care with which God orchestrates history to fulfill His purposes.<br><br><b>Historical Context:</b> <br>The genealogies in which Sala appears are not merely historical records but are theological affirmations of God's sovereignty and faithfulness. They reflect the ancient Near Eastern practice of preserving family lines and heritage, which was crucial for maintaining identity and continuity among the people of Israel.<br><br><b>Cultural and Religious Significance:</b> <br>In Jewish tradition, genealogies were vital for establishing tribal affiliations, inheritance rights, and religious duties. For early Christians, these genealogies affirmed Jesus' rightful place as the promised Messiah, rooted in the history and prophecies of the Old Testament.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While Sala may not be a prominent figure in biblical narratives, his role in the genealogy of Jesus Christ is significant. It serves as a reminder of the intricate and purposeful design of God's plan for humanity, woven through generations and culminating in the life and work of Jesus.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>A shoot, a descendant of Arphaxed (<a href="/luke/3-35.htm">Luke 3:35</a>, 36); called also Shelah (<a href="/1_chronicles/1-18.htm">1 Chronicles 1:18</a>, 24). <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">SALA, SALAH</span><p>sa'-la (shelach, "a missile," "petition"; Sala): A son of Arpachshad (the King James Version <a href="/genesis/10-24.htm">Genesis 10:24</a>; <a href="/genesis/11-13.htm">Genesis 11:13</a>;; <a href="/1_chronicles/1-18.htm">1 Chronicles 1:18, 24</a>). <a href="/luke/3-35.htm">Luke 3:35, 36</a> follows the Septuagint of <a href="/genesis/10-24.htm">Genesis 10:24</a>; <a href="/genesis/11-12.htm">Genesis 11:12</a> = SHELAH (which see).<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4527.htm"><span class="l">4527. <b>Sala</b> -- Shelah, an ancestor of Christ, also Salmon, an <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> 4526, 4527. <b>Sala</b>. 4528 .
