CHESED . One of the sons of Nahor and Milcah ( 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 ( i.e. Kasdim) is spoken of as the dwelling place of Terah ( Genesis 11:1-32 ), Nahor’s father.
