JARED (Heb. Jeredh, in pausa Jāredh). - Name of two biblical figures.

1. Antediluvian patriarch, of the line of Seth, son of Mahalalel and father of Enoch (Gen. 5:15-20; 1 Chron. 1:2; Luke 3:37).

2. Israelite, of the descendants of Judah. He was the son of Ezrah and founder of Gedor (= today Gedür, cf. Josh. 15:58); 1 Chron. 4:18). The rabbis, by an etymological play, made I. an appellation of Moses (from the root jāradh = to descend), because Moses made the manna "descend" from heaven, without considering that the lawgiver is of the tribe of Levi.
