Old Testament
Almodad
Almodad is the first-born son of Joktan, listed among the descendants of Shem in the Table of Nations.
Almodad appears in the genealogies of Genesis 10 and 1 Chronicles 1 as a descendant of Shem through Joktan. As one of the heads of the post-flood nations, his inclusion serves to document the expansion and diversification of humanity following the dispersion at Babel.
