Subjects in this Topic:
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 Chaldæans. 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), Nahor’s father.
