Berean Strong's Lexicon Hemam: Hemam Original Word: הֵימָם Word Origin: Derived from the root הָמָה (hamah), meaning "to make a noise" or "to be tumultuous." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Hemam, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of leadership and tribal chiefs can be related to Greek terms like ἄρχων (archon, G758) meaning "ruler" or "chief." Usage: Hemam is a personal name found in the genealogies of the Bible. It is used to identify a descendant of Esau, specifically one of the chiefs of Edom. The name may imply a sense of noise or tumult, possibly reflecting the character or reputation of the individual or his descendants. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of personal characteristics, familial traits, or divine attributes. Hemam, as a chief of Edom, would have been a leader among the Edomites, a people descended from Esau, Jacob's brother. The Edomites had a complex relationship with the Israelites, often characterized by conflict and rivalry. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origina form of Homam, q.v.
