ram is a proper name used chiefly for figures in genealogical lines and once for a family designation.

The term is used predominantly as a proper name within genealogical statements: it identifies a son of Hezron, a firstborn son of Jerahmeel, and the ancestor between Hezron and Amminadab. In Job 32:2, it identifies the family from which Elihu comes.

   All the cited genealogical clauses mark the form as a Proper noun. In 1 Chronicles 2:9 the APB renders Ram among Hezron's sons; in 1 Chronicles 2:25 and 1 Chronicles 2:27 it renders Ram as Jerahmeel's firstborn and then names his sons. In Ruth 4:19 and 1 Chronicles 2:10, the APB renders Ram in the succession from Hezron to Amminadab.

2. Family designation · rare

   In Job 32:2, the Proper-noun form occurs in the clause identifying Elihu as "from the family of Ram"; the APB presents the name as a family affiliation rather than in a begetting or sons list.

   Job 32:2

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the term as "Ram" where it occurs in genealogical lists and begetting statements. In Job 32:2, it presents the same name in the phrase "family of Ram" beyond these clause-level presentations.
