Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Paddan or Paddan-Aram, as these are specific to the Hebrew text and the cultural and geographical context of the Old Testament. The Greek Septuagint may use transliterations or equivalent terms to describe the region, but these are not directly linked to a specific Strong's Greek number. Usage: The term Paddan or Paddan-Aram is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the region where Abraham's family originated and where Jacob fled to escape his brother Esau's wrath. It is a significant location in the narratives of the patriarchs, particularly in the context of Jacob's journey and his marriages to Leah and Rachel. Context: Paddan, or Paddan-Aram, is a geographical term used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a region in the northern part of Mesopotamia, often identified with the area around Haran. This region is significant in the biblical narrative as the homeland of the patriarchs' ancestors. In Genesis, Paddan-Aram is mentioned as the place where Abraham's servant was sent to find a wife for Isaac (Genesis 25:20), and where Jacob fled to escape Esau's anger (Genesis 28:2, 5-7). It is also the location where Jacob worked for Laban and married Leah and Rachel (Genesis 29:16-30). The term emphasizes the connection between the patriarchs and their ancestral roots, highlighting the familial and covenantal ties that are central to the biblical narrative. The Berean Standard Bible references Paddan-Aram in Genesis 25:20: "And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife."
