Patriarchs · In the line to Jesus

Ram

Son of Hezron and father of Amminadab, listed in the genealogy of David and Jesus Christ. Ram carried forward the messianic line through the tribe of Judah during Israel’s time in Egypt. Though little is recorded about him individually, his place in the lineage connects the patriarchal era to the generation that would emerge from Egypt under Moses.
