Jalam, son of Esau and Oholibamah, an Edomite chief
Jalam appears in the genealogies as one of Esau's sons by his wife Oholibamah. Listed among the chiefs of Edom, he represents one of the family lines descended from Isaac through Esau rather than Jacob. The name appears in both the Genesis account of Esau's descendants and the parallel genealogy preserved in Chronicles, confirming his place in the Edomite tribal structure.

Senses
1. sense 1 — Jalam is consistently identified as a son of Esau born to Oholibamah in the land of Canaan (Gen 36:5, 14, 18) and reckoned among the Edomite chiefs. The parallel account in 1Chronicles 1:35 preserves the same genealogical record, with Greek Ieglom representing the Septuagint's vocalization of the Hebrew name. The multilingual evidence shows transliteration approaches across language families: English Jalam, Spanish Yalam/Yaalam, French Jalam, and German Jalam all preserve recognizable phonetic equivalents of the Hebrew. 4×
