Almodad (אַלְמוֹדָד) is the firstborn son of Joktan, grandson of Eber, great-great-grandson of Shem (Genesis 10:26; 1 Chronicles 1:20). The etymology is uncertain; proposed meanings include "immeasurable" (from lo + madad) or "God is friend." His descendants likely settled in the southern Arabian peninsula.
Almodad appears in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10), which Scripture treats as the divinely ordered dispersion of humanity after Babel. Every name represents a people group encompassed within God's providential plan. Paul declares in Acts 17:26 that God "determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live." The Table of Nations is ultimately fulfilled in Revelation 7:9, where every nation stands before the Lamb — including the ancient peoples descended from Almodad.
