Chesed
CHESED.One of the sons of Nahor and Milcah (Gen 22:22 J [Note: Jahwist.] ). He is obviously here introduced into the genealogy of the Terahites as the presumptive forefather of the Kasdim or Chaldans. This probably represents a different tradition from that in P [Note: Priestly Narrative.] , where Ur of the Chaldees (i.e. Kasdim) is spoken of as the dwelling place of Terah (Gen 11:1-32), Nahors father.

Chesed
kesed, kesed (, kasdm; , Chaszad): One of the sons of Nahor and Milcah (Gen 22:22); was probably the father of the Casdim. The early Babylonian form Kasdu appears in Assyrian as Kaldu or Kald. English Versions of the Bible follows the Assyrian and Greek style of writing the name and uses Chaldees or Chaldeans instead of Casdim. The Chaldeans dwelt in the lower valley of the Euphrates, at the head of the Persian Gulf. Abram came from Ur of the Chaldees (Gen 11:28, Gen 11:31; Gen 15:7; Neh 9:7). In Job 1:17 the Casdim are described as invading the land of Uz, the eldest brother of Chesed (Gen 22:21, Gen 22:22). In the days of Nebuchadrezzar the Casdim overran Syria and Palestine and carried the people of Judah in successive deportations into captivity (2Ki 24:1 f,10ff; 2Ki 25:1). In Dan 2:2, Dan 2:5 the Casdim are named with the magicians and astrologers as a learned class, skilled in interpretations. Casdim is sometimes used in Hebrew for the land of Chaldea (Eze 23:15 f; Eze 11:24).
