Word Overview
The name Arni appears in the New Testament as a proper noun within the genealogy of Jesus found in Luke 3:33. It identifies an ancestor from the tribe of Judah, specifically the son of Hezron and the father of Amminadab during the period of the United Monarchy.
Lexical data indicates that this individual is also referred to as Admin or Aram in other biblical records, such as the Book of Ruth. The variation in spelling reflects differences between Hebrew textual traditions and their Greek transliteration, rather than a difference in identity. Luke includes him to trace the human lineage of Christ back through Judah’s family line.
Based on public-domain lexicons (Strong's, Thayer, Gesenius, Brown-Driver-Briggs and others).
