Elmodam appears in Luke 3:28 as part of the genealogy of Jesus tracing back through Mary's line to Adam. While little is known about Elmodam personally, his inclusion in Scripture underscores the importance of Jesus's legitimate human ancestry and his connection to the covenant promises given to David.
