Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the name Timon, the concept of honor and esteem can be related to Hebrew words such as כָּבוֹד (kabod, Strong's H3519), meaning "glory" or "honor." Usage: Timon is a personal name found in the New Testament. It is used to refer to one of the seven men chosen by the early church to serve and manage the distribution of food to the Hellenistic widows in the Jerusalem church, as recorded in the Book of Acts. The name itself suggests a person who is honored or esteemed. Cultural and Historical Background: In the early Christian community, the distribution of resources was a significant task, especially in a diverse group that included both Hebrew and Hellenistic Jews. The selection of men like Timon, who likely had a Greek background, reflects the church's effort to address cultural tensions and ensure fair treatment for all members. This role was crucial in maintaining unity and demonstrating the love and care that characterized the early church.
