<p> <strong> [[Chesed]] </strong> . One of the sons of [[Nahor]] and [[Milcah]] (&nbsp; [[Genesis]] 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]] ( <em> i.e. </em> Kasdim) is spoken of as the dwelling place of [[Terah]] (&nbsp; Genesis 11:1-32 ), Nahor’s father. </p>

<p> ''''' kē´sed ''''' , ''''' kes´ed ''''' ( כּשׂדּים , <i> ''''' kasdı̄m ''''' </i> ; Χάσζαδ , <i> ''''' Chászad ''''' </i> ): One of the sons of Nahor and Milcah (&nbsp;Genesis 22:22 ); was probably the father of the Casdim. The early [[Babylonian]] form <i> ''''' Kašdu ''''' </i> appears in [[Assyrian]] as Kaldu or Kaldû. 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 (&nbsp;Genesis 11:28 , &nbsp;Genesis 11:31; &nbsp;Genesis 15:7; &nbsp;Nehemiah 9:7 ). In &nbsp;Job 1:17 the Casdim are described as invading the land of Uz, the eldest brother of Chesed (&nbsp; Genesis 22:21 , &nbsp;Genesis 22:22 ). In the days of [[Nebuchadrezzar]] the Casdim overran Syria and [[Palestine]] and carried the people of Judah in successive deportations into captivity (&nbsp;2 Kings 24:1 f,10ff; &nbsp; 2 Kings 25:1 ). In &nbsp;Daniel 2:2 , &nbsp;Daniel 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 (&nbsp; Ezekiel 23:15 f; &nbsp; Ezekiel 11:24 ). </p>

<p> (Hebrews [[Ke]] '''''´''''' sed, '''''כֶּשֶׂר''''' , of uncertain signif.; Sept. '''''Χαζάδ''''' '','' Vulg. ''Cased,'' [[Josephus]] '''''Χάζαδος''''' , Ant. 1:6, 5), the fourth of the eight sons of Nahor by Milcah (&nbsp;Genesis 22:22). B.C. cir. 2088. The name is the same as would be the sing. form of the Hebrews for ''Chaldaeans;'' but it is doubtful whether there is any connection. (See [[Chaldaea]]). </p>
