Cosam is mentioned inLuke 3:28as one of the ancestors of Jesus Christ in the genealogy traced through Joseph, Jesus' legal father. He is listed as the son of Elmadam and the father of Addi. The genealogy in Luke's Gospel goes back from Joseph to Adam, the son of God, highlighting Jesus' connection to all of humanity. Cosam's inclusion in the genealogy helps to establish Jesus' lineage and his ties to the Davidic line, as well as his relationship to key figures in Israel's history. However, no additional information about Cosam's life or role is provided in the Bible.
