Both Testaments
Reu
A descendant of Shem and an ancestor of Abraham in the patriarchal genealogy.
Reu, also known as Ragau, was the son of Peleg and the father of Serug. He serves as a vital link in the genealogical record connecting the post-flood patriarchs to Abraham. His inclusion in the genealogies of Genesis, 1 Chronicles, and Luke underscores the preservation of the messianic line.
