Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name חוּשָׁם (Chusham), as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

Usage: The name Chusham appears in the Hebrew Bible as a personal name. It is specifically mentioned in the genealogical records.

Context: Chusham is identified in the Bible as a king of Edom. He is mentioned in the genealogical lists of the Edomite kings, which are recorded in the Book of Genesis. In Genesis 36:34-35 (BSB), it is noted: "When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites reigned in his place. When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, reigned in his place. The name of his city was Avith." This passage places Chusham in the context of the Edomite monarchy, succeeding Jobab and preceding Hadad. The mention of Chusham in the genealogical records highlights the historical and political significance of Edom during the patriarchal period. The Edomite kingship, as recorded in Genesis, provides insight into the neighboring nations of Israel and their leadership structures.
