Profile
Lod • A city in Benjamin; home of Aeneas healed by Peter
Lod (Lydda), a city in the territory of Benjamin (1 Chronicles 8:12), where Peter healed Aeneas (Acts 9:32-35).
Lod, also known as Lydda, was a city located in the territory of Benjamin (1 Chronicles 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 (Acts 9:32-35). The healing of Aeneas led to many people in Lydda and the nearby plain of Sharon turning to the Lord (Acts 9:35). Lydda was also the location from which Peter was summoned to Joppa when Tabitha (Dorcas) died (Acts 9:38).
