Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Tolad, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of "generation" or "offspring" can be related to Greek terms like γενεά (genea, Strong's G1074) or τέκνον (teknon, Strong's G5043).

Usage: Tolad is a place name mentioned in the Old Testament. It is identified as a town in the territory allotted to the tribe of Simeon. The name itself may carry the connotation of "generation" or "offspring," reflecting its root meaning.

Cultural and Historical Background: Tolad is one of the towns listed in the inheritance of the tribe of Simeon, which was situated within the larger territory of Judah. The allocation of land to Simeon within Judah's borders reflects the tribe's smaller size and the fulfillment of Jacob's prophecy in Genesis 49:7, where Simeon and Levi are scattered in Israel. The historical context of Tolad is tied to the period of the Israelite settlement in Canaan, following the Exodus and the conquest under Joshua.
