Haran; Haran or Charran in Mesopotamia, where Abraham dwelt. Canneh; no where else mentioned, supposed to be the same with Calneh, Genesis 10:10, afterwards Ctesiphon, a pleasant city on Tigris, some three miles from Seleucia. It was built by the Parthians, whose king resided there in the winter, because of the mildness of the air. Eden; a pleasant country, part of Babylonia. The Chaldee paraphrase calls it Hadiab, and leads us to Adiabene, which Trajan conquered in his expedition against Babylon. Sheba; whether the same mentioned Ezekiel 27:22, (which see,) or some other, is not certain; perhaps it may be Saba, whence Sabeans. Asshur; Asshur, the name of the father of the nation, for Assyria. Chilmad; a country or part of Media, between Assyria and Parthia, most likely to be Gaala of Media.
