Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

אֲרָם₁₄₉ proper name, masculine Aram (Assyrian Aramu, etc., see Dl^{Pa 257}; Thes and others propose √ ארם = רום but compare Nö as below) —

1 5th son of Shem Genesis 10:22,23; 1 Chronicles 1:17.

2 grandson of Nahor Genesis 22:21.

3 1 Chronicles 2:23.

4 a descendant of Asher 1 Chronicles 7:34. — Elsewhere only of AramÊan people & land (= 1 above), feminine^{2 Samuel 8:5} masculine^{2 Samuel 10:14}.

a. people, singular collective = the Aramoeans, a leading branch of the Shemitic stock inhabiting Mesopotamia & northern Syria, in many tribes & settlements; 2 Samuel 8:5 (twice in verse); 2 Samuel 8:6 + 1 Kings 20:20,21 + 1 Chronicles 19:10,12 + (64t. Samuel Kings Chronicles) Amos 9:7; Isaiah 7:2,4,5,8; Isaiah 9:11; Isaiah 17:3; Jeremiah 35:11; so Ezekiel 16:57; Ezekiel 27:16, but Co in both אדוםעַם אֲרָם Amos 1:5; of particular divisions of Aram, בית רְחוֺב׳א 2 Samuel 10:6, צוֺבָא׳א 2 Samuel 10:6,8; Psalm 60:2 (title), דַּמֶּשֶׂק׳א 2 Samuel 8:5 compare 1 Chronicles 18:5, even נַהֲרַיִם׳א Psalm 60:2 (title); (note that Assyrian never gives name Aramu to people west of Euphrates, but Chatti instead, with other particular names, COT Genesis 10:22, also Dl^l.c.); on 2 Samuel 8:12,13; 1 Chronicles 18:11 see אֱדוֺם.

b. less often clearly of land, Aram Numbers 23:7; 2 Samuel 15:8 2 Chronicles 20:2 (read however here אדום Thes Add and others), ׳שְׂדֵה א Hosea 12:13; also of particular divisions of the territory נַהֲרַיִם׳א 'Mesopotamia,' i.e. probably land between Euphrates & Chaboras, so Di after Kiep, Genesis 24:10; Deuteronomy 23:5; Judges 3:8 (compare Psalm 60:2 above); compare ׳מַּדַּן א Paddan-Aram Genesis 25:20; Genesis 31:18; Genesis 33:18; Genesis 35:9,26; Genesis 46:15, ׳מַּדֶּ֫נָה א Genesis 28:2,5,6,7 see פדן; דַּמֶּשֶׂק׳א 2 Samuel 8:6 compare 1 Chronicles 18:6.

c. often indeterminate, especially in ׳מֶלֶךְ א etc., perhaps primarily land but often including people: so Judges 2:11; Judges 10:6 (׳אֱלֹהֵי א) 1 Kings 10:29 2 Chronicles 1:17 + (41t. Kings & Chronicles) Isaiah 7:1. — (compare especially Nö^{Sehenkel BL, ZMG 1871,113; Hermes see 3,443f.} Dl^{Pa 257}.)

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

אֲרָם const. state אֲרַם [Aram, Mesopotamia, Syria], pr.n. (“height, high region” Hochland, opp. to בְּנַעַן Niederland).

(1) Aramœa, Aramœans, or Syria, Syrians, construed with a verb m. sing.; 2 Samuel 10:14, 15 2 Samuel 10:15, 18 2 Samuel 10:18; 1 Kings 20:26 pl. 2 Samuel 10:17, 19 2 Samuel 10:19; 1 Kings 20:20 more rarely with sing. f. Isaiah 7:2. This ancient and domestic name of Syria, was not altogether unknown to the Greeks, see Hom. Il. ii. 783; Hesiod. Theog. 304; Strabo xiii. 4, § 6; xvi. 4, § 27. The name of Aramœa however extends more widely than that of Syria, and also includes Mesopotamia, although Pliny (v. 15, § 12), and Mela (i. 11), give the same more extended limit to Syria. When it simply stands אֲרָם we should generally understand western Syria, or that properly so called; Judges 3:10; 1 Kings 10:29, 11:25 15:18 especially Syria of Damascus; Isaiah 7:1, Amos 1:5 more accurately called אֲרַם דַּמֶּשֶׂק, 2 Samuel 8:5. Where Mesopotamia is intended, it is called אֲרַם נַהֲרַיִם [Mesopotamia, Aram-naharaim] “Syria of the two rivers,” Genesis 24:10; Deuteronomy 23:5; Judges 3:8 or פַּדַּן אֲרָם; [Padan-aram] “the plain of Syria,” Genesis 25:20, 28:2, Genesis 28:5, Genesis 28:6, Genesis 28:7 and ellipt. פַּדָּן 48:7; rarely simply אֲרָם Numbers 23:7, when a more exact description has preceded (comp. אֲרַמִּי). In western Syria (not in Mesopotamia, as is commonly thought), there were besides in the time of David, certain other kingdoms, אֲרַם צוֹבָה [Aram-zobah]. (see צוֹבָה ), אֲרַם בֵּית רְחֹב [Aram-beth-rehob] (see רְחֹב בֵּית), אֲרַם מַעֲכָה[Arammaachah] (see מַעֲכָה ), חֲמָת, etc., which were however afterwards subject to the kings of Damascus (1 Kings 20:1). Comp. Gent. אֲרַמִּי אֲרָמִי.

(2) pr.n. m.

(a) Aram, the grandson of Nahor through Kemuel (Genesis 22:21), who seems to have given his name to the region of Syria. Comp. רַם.

(b) 1 Chronicles 7:34.
