Jalam

Jalam was one of the sons born to Esau, the son of Isaac, and his wife Oholibamah, as recorded in Genesis 36:5, 14, and 18, and 1 Chronicles 1:35. Esau, also known as Edom, settled in the region of Seir and became the ancestor of the Edomites. Jalam and his brothers, Jeush and Korah, were born in Canaan before Esau moved to Seir. Genesis 36:18 lists Jalam as one of the chiefs of Edom, indicating that he and his descendants held a position of authority within the Edomite tribal structure.
