Hadoram

From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science

Hadoram is a son of Joktan mentioned in Genesis 10:26. Hadoram, called Jorham by the Arabs, is believed to be the founder of Hejaz containing Mecca and Medina. According to Arab tradition, the daughter of Mudad, a descendant of his, became one of the wives of Ishmael. They claim that Kedar was the offspring of the union of Ishmael and his wife. His descendants dwelt in Hadramaut. He may be the Adramitae of south Arabia mentioned by Ptolemy and Pliny.
