Aram (â'ram), high region 1. A son of Shem. Genesis 10:22-23; 1 Chronicles 1:17. 2. A descendant of Nahor, Abraham's brother. Genesis 22:21. 3. An Asherite. 1 Chronicles 7:34. 4. The son of Esrom, elsewhere called Ram. Matthew 1:3-4; Luke 3:33, A. V., but the R. V. reads Ami.

Aram, highlands. The elevated region northeast of Palestine, toward the Euphrates river. Numbers 23:7; 1 Chronicles 1:17; 1 Chronicles 2:23. It was nearly identical with Syria. Aram-naharaim of Genesis 24:10 is translated Mesopotamia in the English Version, and refers to the region between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. There were probably several petty kingdoms included under Aram, as Aram-zobah, Aram Beth-rehob, Aram Damascus, Padan-aram; all these were gradually absorbed by that of Damascus, which became the capital of all "Aram," or Syria.
