Padan, [Pa'dan] Padanaram. [Pa'dan-a'ram]
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, Genesis 1:35; 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.
