Ram (Hebrew:רםRām) is a figure in theHebrew Bible. He is the son ofHezron and ancestor ofDavid. His genealogical lineage and descendants are recorded in1 Chronicles 2:9-10[1] and at theBook of Ruth 4:19.[2] In theNew Testament, his name is given as "Aram" (Greek:Ἀράμ) and "Arni" (Greek:Ἀρνὶ).
The only mentions of Ram in the Bible is within genealogies, and thus we know virtually nothing else about him other than in relation to others.
For instance, in Ruth 4:19, the family line of Perez is recounted. In Ruth 4:19, the Bible says, "Hezron the father of Ram, Ram the father of Amminadab"
Ram's father, Hezron, was one of the original descendants of Jacob who ended up in Egypt.[3] Thus, Ram would have been born and grew up in Egypt, before the time of the Exodus.
Later, in the New Testament, Ram is also mentioned in both the genealogies that Matthew and Luke share to tell of the family tree of Jesus. He is mentioned in Matthew 1:3-4 and Luke 3:33.
Ram's older brother, Jerahmeel, named his firstborn son Ram.[4]
