An Ancestor in the Lukan Genealogy

The line ascending from Joseph back to Adam runs through a series of otherwise unknown figures: "the [son] of Melchi, the [son] of Addi, the [son] of Cosam, the [son] of Elmadam, the [son] of Er" (Lu 3:28). Elmadam stands between Cosam and Er, contributing one link to the long chain of names by which Luke connects Jesus to David, Abraham, and Adam. No further detail attaches to him in the text.
