Context: Jalam is mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the sons of Esau, the patriarch of the Edomites. He is listed among the chiefs of Edom, indicating a position of leadership or prominence within the Edomite tribes. The reference to Jalam can be found in Genesis 36:5, 14, and 18, where he is noted as a son of Esau and Aholibamah, Esau's wife.
