Genesis 38:13

וַ יֻּגַּד לְ תָמָר לֵ אמֹר הִנֵּה חָמִיךְ עֹלֶה תִמְנָתָה לָ גֹז צֹאנֹו
And he is fronted to Palm-Tree, to say, `Behold, your cham1196 is he-who-ascends Portion-ward to shear his sheep.`
1196

Strong’s #2524, cham. From chomah (#2346) meaning wall. Specifically, the “husband’s father”, a married woman’s father-in-law was identified with a wall, apparently.
