The name "Aduel" appears in the genealogical context, providing insight into the lineage and heritage of the main characters in the narrative.<br><br><b>Genealogical Context</b><br><br>Aduel is identified as the father of Gabael, who is a significant character in the Book of Tobit. Gabael is a relative of Tobit, the protagonist, and plays a crucial role in the story's unfolding. The genealogy is presented as follows: Tobit, son of Tobiel, son of Hananiel, son of Aduel, son of Gabael, of the descendants of Asiel, of the tribe of Naphtali. This lineage is significant as it establishes Tobit's heritage and connection to the tribe of Naphtali, one of the twelve tribes of Israel.<br><br><b>Role in the Book of Tobit</b><br><br>While Aduel himself does not play an active role in the narrative, his mention serves to authenticate the family line and the tribal affiliation of Tobit. The genealogical record underscores the importance of family heritage and tribal identity in Jewish culture and religious tradition. It also situates the account within the broader context of Israel's history and God's covenant with His people.<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>The inclusion of genealogies in biblical texts often serves to highlight the faithfulness of God in preserving His people and fulfilling His promises through generations. Although Aduel is a minor figure, his place in the genealogy of Tobit reflects the continuity of God's covenantal relationship with Israel. It also emphasizes the interconnectedness of the characters within the narrative, illustrating how God works through families and lineages to accomplish His purposes.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context</b><br><br>The Book of Tobit is set during the Assyrian exile, a period of great turmoil and displacement for the Israelites. The genealogical references, including Aduel, provide a sense of identity and continuity for the Jewish people during this time of upheaval. By tracing their lineage, the characters in Tobit affirm their connection to the ancestral promises and the hope of restoration.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>Aduel, though a minor figure in the biblical narrative, contributes to the rich tapestry of genealogical records that affirm the faithfulness of God to His people. His mention in the Book of Tobit highlights the importance of family heritage and tribal identity in the unfolding account of God's redemptive plan for Israel.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">ADUEL</span><p>a-du'-el (Adouel): An ancestor of Tobit (Tobit 1:1).<p><a name="thes" id="thes"></a><div class="vheading2">Thesaurus</div><a href="/topical/a/aduel.htm"><span class="l"><b>Aduel</b></span></a><br><b>...</b> Int.
