HAM, Hem, or Cham, the country of the Zuzims, whereof there is mention made in Genesis xiv. 5. The Author of the Vulgate translates it thus; Chedorlaomer overcame the Rephaims of Ashteroth Karmaim, and the Zuzims with them; but the Hebrew reading is, the Zuzims in Hem, or in Ham. What the situation was of this Gen. xiv. 5. זוזים בהםland of Ham, we cannot tell.
