The form is tagged as a proper noun in each occurrence. In Genesis 36:5 the APB renders a birth list in which Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah; Genesis 36:14 and 1 Chronicles 1:35 likewise place the name in lists of Esau’s sons. In Genesis 36:18 the APB renders the same named individual among the chiefs of Oholibamah.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB presents the name as “Jalam” in family and chief lists. This identifies its presentation within the clauses rather than establishing a separate English lexical rendering.
