Jared [1]
jā´red ( ירד , yeredh , "descent"; pausal form, ירד , yāredh , in Genesis 5:15; 1 Chronicles 1:2 , hence, English Versions of the Bible "Jared" for "Jered"; Ἰαρέδ , Iaréd ): In Genesis 5:15-20; 1 Chronicles 1:2; Luke 3:37 , son of Mahalaleel and father of Enoch. The King James Version has "Jered" in 1 Chronicles 1:2 .
The name is supposed by Budde to denote a degeneration of the human race, the first five generations being righteous, their successors not, except Enoch and Noah. The name has been identified with that of Irad ( עירד , ‛ı̄rādh ), Genesis 4:18 . See Skinner, Gen, 117, 129, 131.
