        Ezekiel 27:23 <p> </p>

        <p> Named with [[Sheba]] and [[Asshur]] ( Ezekiel 27:23). [[Ptolemy]] mentions a Gaala of Media, which compounded forms Chil-mad. The Chaldee version has "Media," others "Carmanda," a large city beyond the [[Euphrates]] (Xenophon). </p>

        Ezekiel 27:23 <p> </p>

        <p> <strong> CHILMAD </strong> occurs in Ezekiel 27:23 at the close of the list of nations that traded with Tyre. The name has been thought to be the Aram. [Note: Aramaic.] form of <em> Charmande </em> , a town on the [[Euphrates]] mentioned by Xenophon ( <em> Anab </em> . i. 5. 10). [[George]] [[Smith]] identified [[Chilmad]] with the modern <em> Kalwâdha </em> near Baghdad but neither of these conjectures has much probability. </p>

        <p> Unknown place associated with [[Sheba]] and Asshur, whose merchants traded with Tyre. Ezekiel 27:23 . </p>

        <p> Chil'mad. (enclosure). A place or country mentioned in conjunction with [[Sheba]] and Asshur. Ezekiel 27:23. </p>

        <p> '''''kil´mad''''' ( כּלמד , <i> '''''kilmadh''''' </i> ; Χαρμάν , <i> '''''Charmán''''' </i> ): A city or district mentioned after [[Sheba]] and [[Asshur]] as supplying merchandise to Tyre ( Ezekiel 27:23 ). By changing "m" into "w" (common in Assyrian-Babylonian) this has been compared with <i> '''''Kalwādha''''' </i> near [[Bagdad]] (G. Smith, Transactions of the Society of Biblical Archaeology, I, 61; Delitzsch, <i> Paradies </i> , 206), but the identification seems improbable. Though regarded as the name of a country in the [[Septuagint]] and the [[Vulgate]] (Jerome's <i> [[Latin]] [[Bible]] </i> , 390-405 ad) ( <i> '''''Charman''''' </i> ; <i> '''''Chelmad''''' </i> ), there is some doubt whether this view of the word is correct. The [[Targum]] substitutes <i> '''''Madhai''''' </i> , "Media," and on this account Mez (Stadt <i> Harran </i> , 24) amends to <i> '''''Kōl Madhai''''' </i> , "all Media." The absence of the copula "and" has caused others to further modify the vocalization, and by reading <i> '''''kelimmūdh''''' </i> instead of Chilmad, the sense "Asshur was as the apprentice of thy trading" ('''''Ḳimḥi''''' , Hitzig, Cornill) is obtained, but is not satisfactory. Probably both text and translation are susceptible of improvement. </p>

        <p> (Hebrews Kilmad ´ כַּלְמִר , etymology unknown; Sept. Χαρμάν v. r. Χαλμάν and Χαλμάβ; Vulg. Chelmad), an Asiatic place or country mentioned, in conjunction with [[Sheba]] and Asshur, as a trading emporium with the Tyrians ( Ezekiel 27:23). The only name bearing any similarity to it is Charmande ( Χαρμάνδη ) , a "large and flourishing" town near the Euphrates, between the Mascas and the [[Babylonian]] frontier (Xen. Anab. 1:5, 10; comp. Steph. Byz. p. 754), an identification generally adopted since Bochart (Canaan, 1:18, p. 480). Hitzig (Comment. on Ezekiel 1. c.) proposes to alter the punctuation to כְּלַמֻּר , Ke-limmud ´, giving the sense "Asshur was as thy pupil in commerce," as first suggested by Kimchi (in loc.). The Chaldee [[Targum]] has מָרִי, Media. For other conjectures, see Rosenm ü ller in loc. (See Chaldaea,) p. 198. </p>
