PADDAN, PADDAN-ARAM

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.

See also Aram-naharaim.
