Lod Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Lod, also known as Lydda, was a city located in the territory of Benjamin (1Ch.8.12; Ezra 2:33; Nehemiah 7:37). It was one of the cities resettled by the Israelites after the Babylonian exile (Ezra 2:33; Nehemiah 7:37; 11:35). In the New Testament, Lydda is mentioned as the place where the apostle Peter healed a paralyzed man named Aeneas (Act.9.32-35). The healing of Aeneas led to many people in Lydda and the nearby plain of Sharon turning to the Lord (Act.9.35). Lydda was also the location from which Peter was summoned to Joppa when Tabitha (Dorcas) died (Act.9.38).
