Haran; Haran or Charran in Mesopotamia, where Abraham dwelt.



Canneh; no where else mentioned, supposed to be the same with Calneh, Gen_10:10, afterwards Ctesiphon, a pleasant city on Tigris, some three miles from Seleucia. It was built by the Parthians, whose king resided there in the winter, because of the mildness of the air.



Eden; a pleasant country, part of Babylonia. The Chaldee paraphrase calls it Hadiab, and leads us to Adiabene, which Trajan conquered in his expedition against Babylon.
