Lod is the Hebrew name for the town known in the New Testament by its Greek name, Lydda. It is listed among the towns of Benjamin resettled by Jews returning from Babylonian exile, its population numbering over seven hundred according to the lists in Ezra and Nehemiah (Ezra 2:33; Nehemiah 7:37; 11:35). It lay on the coastal plain along the road from Jerusalem to Joppa, and modern Lod, near Tel Aviv's international airport, preserves the ancient name.
