Old Testament
Gaham
Gaham was a son of Nahor and his concubine Reumah, mentioned in the genealogy of Abraham's family.
Gaham is identified in Genesis 22:24 as one of the four sons born to Abraham's brother, Nahor, by his concubine Reumah. His inclusion in the biblical record serves to document the expansion of Nahor's family line alongside the narrative of Abraham's descendants. Beyond this genealogical listing, Scripture provides no further details regarding his life or actions.
