Paddan, Paddan-Aram — Tyndale Open Bible Dictionary

Northwestern Mesopotamian district whose name means “Field of Aram,” distinguishing this flatland from the mountainous regions to the north and east. Paddan-aram is alternately called Paddan in Genesis 48:7, the “land of Aram” in Hosea 12:12, and Aram-naharaim in Genesis 24:10 meaning “Aram of the two rivers” (see NLT mg). The two rivers probably referred to the Euphrates and Balih rivers, between which this tract of land was situated.
