Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from Hebrew אָרָם (H758)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H758 אָרָם (Aram): Refers to the same region and people group in the Old Testament, often translated as Syria.

Usage: The term Ἀράμ is used in the New Testament to refer to the ancient region and people of Aram, which is often synonymous with Syria. It appears in genealogical contexts and historical references.

Context: Ἀράμ (Aram) is a term used in the New Testament to denote the region and people historically known as Arameans. This area corresponds to parts of modern-day Syria and Mesopotamia. In biblical history, Aram is significant due to its frequent interactions with Israel, both in conflict and alliance. The Arameans are descendants of Aram, a son of Shem, as listed in the genealogies of Genesis. The Berean Standard Bible references Aram in the genealogical records of Jesus, highlighting its importance in the lineage of Christ. For example, in Matthew 1:3-4, the genealogy of Jesus includes Aram as an ancestor: "Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram, Ram the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon." This passage underscores the historical and theological significance of Aram in the biblical narrative, linking the patriarchal past to the messianic fulfillment in Jesus.
