Paddan-aram, the upper Mesopotamian plain around Haran, homeland of the patriarchal family
This compound place name designates the fertile plain surrounding Haran in upper Mesopotamia, the ancestral homeland of Abraham's extended family. It is where Isaac's bride Rebekah originates (Gen 25:20) and where Jacob is sent to find a wife among his mother's kin (Gen 28:2). The name evokes the patriarchal practice of seeking marriages within the covenant family, binding Canaan's promises to Mesopotamian roots.

1. Paddan-aram (proper name, region) — The proper geographical name for the region around Haran in upper Mesopotamia (modern southeastern Turkey/northern Syria). It appears almost exclusively in patriarchal narratives — identifying Rebekah's origin (Gen 25:20) and Jacob's destination when fleeing Esau (Gen 28:2, 5, 6, 7). English renders it 'Paddan-aram,' preserving both elements of the compound name. 11×
