Padanaram Padan [1]

A cultivated district in Mesopotamia, in which was the city of Nahor, to which Terah and his family migrated from Ur of the Chaldees; and from whence Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel, the wives of Isaac and Jacob, were obtained.  Genesis 25:20;  Genesis 28:2-7;  Genesis 31:18;  Genesis 33:18;  Genesis 35:9,26;  Genesis 46:15 . It is strictly Paddan-aram, signifying 'table land of Aram.' Mesopotamia is the translation of Padan-aram both in the Lxx and the Vulgate. In  Genesis 48:7 it is simply Padan.
