Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root רוּם (rum), meaning "to be high" or "exalted."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G689 (Ἀράμ, Aram): This Greek entry corresponds to the Hebrew name Ram in the genealogical context. In the New Testament, Aram is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew 1:3-4 (BSB) states, "Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram. Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon."

The name Ram, therefore, holds significance in biblical genealogies, particularly in the lineage leading to King David and Jesus Christ, highlighting its importance in the fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

Usage: Ram is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to several individuals.

Context: • Ram, Son of Hezron: Ram is listed as a descendant of Judah, the son of Hezron, and an ancestor of King David. He is mentioned in the genealogies that trace the lineage of David, and ultimately, Jesus Christ. This lineage is significant in the context of the Messianic prophecies. References to Ram can be found in 1 Chronicles 2:9-10 and Ruth 4:19. In the Berean Standard Bible, 1 Chronicles 2:9 states, "The sons of Hezron who were born to him: Jerahmeel, Ram, and Caleb."

• Ram, Son of Jerahmeel: Another individual named Ram is mentioned as the firstborn son of Jerahmeel, who is also a descendant of Judah. This Ram is noted in 1 Chronicles 2:25, which reads, "The sons of Jerahmeel, the firstborn of Hezron: Ram his firstborn, Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah."

• Ram, Son of Elihu: In the book of Job, Elihu is introduced as the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram. Elihu is one of Job's friends who speaks in the latter part of the book. This reference is found in Job 32:2, "Then Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, burned with anger."
