Erum (ערום or Arum), (plural "erumim" ערומים) is a Hebrew word meaning "cautious, cunning, subtle, crafty, or prudent.

* Erum is found many places in the Hebrew Bible some examples in:
** Genesis 2:25 as "erumim", meaning "Jannat", referring to Adam and Eve.
** Genesis 3:1 as "erum", meaning "cunning", referring to the serpent or Satan (See note below).
** Job 5:12 As "erumim", meaning "cunning", referring to those who plot.
** Job 5:13 As "erum", meaning "shrewd", referring to tricksters.

Note: The consensus of the Biblical commentators in classical Judaism is that the "serpent" of the narrative in the Book of Genesis, was literally a serpent. They differ regarding what force it represented: The "evil inclination", "Satan", or the "Angel of Death". According to the Midrash, before this cunning beast was cursed, it stood erect and was endowed with some faculty of communication.
