The term Chaldeans is another name for the people group also known as Babylonians. If you have decided to use the same names in your translation that the biblical author does in each place, you may wish to use the name Chaldeans here. If you have decided to use the same names for people and groups throughout your translation, you may wish to use the name Babylonians here.
