His name appears in the New Testament, specifically in the lineage that traces the ancestry of Jesus through Joseph, the husband of Mary. Eliud is part of the genealogy that emphasizes Jesus' legal right to the throne of David, underscoring His messianic credentials.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br><br>Eliud is mentioned in the Gospel of <a href="/matthew/1-14.htm">Matthew 1:14-15</a> : "Azor the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, Achim the father of Eliud, Eliud the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob."<br><br><b>Genealogical Context:</b><br><br>Eliud is situated in the genealogy between Achim and Eleazar. This genealogy is significant as it connects Jesus to the royal line of David, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah's lineage. The genealogy in Matthew is structured to highlight Jesus' legal and royal heritage, tracing His descent from Abraham through David, and ultimately to Joseph.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>The inclusion of Eliud in the genealogy of Jesus serves to affirm the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel. By tracing Jesus' lineage through figures like Eliud, the Gospel of Matthew emphasizes the continuity of God's redemptive plan throughout history. Each name in the genealogy, including Eliud, represents a link in the chain of God's covenantal faithfulness, leading to the birth of Jesus, the Savior.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context:</b><br><br>While little is known about Eliud as an individual, his presence in the genealogy reflects the Jewish tradition of maintaining detailed family records. These genealogies were crucial for establishing tribal affiliations, inheritance rights, and religious duties. In the context of the New Testament, the genealogy serves to authenticate Jesus' identity as the promised Messiah, rooted in the history and prophecies of Israel.<br><br><b>Name Meaning:</b><br><br>The name Eliud is of Hebrew origin, and while its exact meaning is not definitively established, it is often associated with meanings such as "God is my praise" or "God is my strength." Names in biblical genealogies often carry theological significance, reflecting the character or destiny of the individuals or the divine attributes they are meant to highlight.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>Eliud's mention in the genealogy of Jesus underscores the importance of lineage in biblical narratives and the fulfillment of divine promises. His place in the genealogy serves as a testament to the meticulous preservation of Jesus' ancestral line, affirming His rightful place as the Messiah in accordance with Jewish expectations and scriptural prophecies.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Eliud</span><p>God is my praise<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Eliud</span><p>(<i>God his praise</i>), son of Achim in the genealogy of Christ.
