Almodad, was a descendant of Noah and the first named son of Joktan in Genesis 10:26 and 1Chronicles 1:20. While the Bible has no further history regarding Almodad, this patriarch is considered to be the founder of an Arabian tribe in "Arabia Felix". This is based on the identification of Joktan's other sons, such as Sheba and Havilah, who are both identified as coming from that region. Many translations and scholarly works use "Elmodad", including Josephus, Douay Rheims Bible and the Targum Ps.-Jonathan, which elaborates Gen 10:26 and says "begot Elmodad, who measured the earth with cords."
