Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for Chaldeans is Χαλδαῖος (Chaldaios), Strong's Greek #5466. Usage: The term "Kasdi" or "Kasdimah" refers to the Chaldeans, an ancient Semitic-speaking people who lived in the region of southern Babylonia, which is present-day southern Iraq. In the Bible, the Chaldeans are often associated with astrology, wisdom, and the Babylonian empire. They are frequently mentioned in the context of their role in the Babylonian captivity of the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: The Chaldeans were known for their advanced knowledge in astronomy and astrology, which played a significant role in their culture and religion.

The Chaldeans are historically significant for their conquest of Jerusalem and the subsequent Babylonian exile of the Jewish people, a pivotal event in Jewish history.
