Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
Haran--the dwelling-place of Abraham in Mesopotamia, after he moved from Ur (Gen 11:31).
Canneh--Calneh, an Assyrian city on the Tigris; the Ctesiphon of the Greeks (Gen 10:10).
Eden--probably a region in Babylonia (see Gen 2:8).
Chilmad--a compound; the place designated by PTOLEMY "Gaala of Media." The Chaldee version interprets it of Media. HENDERSON refers it to Carmanda, which XENOPHON describes as a large city beyond the Euphrates. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Haran - In Mesopotamia, where Abraham dwelt. Canneh - This is supposed to be the same with Calneh, Gen 10:10, afterwards Ctesiphon, a pleasant city on Tigris. Ashur - Assyria. Chilmad - A country between Assyria and Parthia. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Haran - In Mesopotamia; well known in Scripture.
Canneh - Or Chalane, see Gen 10:10. It is supposed to be a cape or port of Arabia Felix, on the Indian Sea.
Eden - Equally famous: supposed to have been situated near the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates.
Sheba - Different from that in Gen 10:22. This was probably near the country of the Edomites.
Asshur - Perhaps the Assyrians.
Chilmad - Possibly Cholmadora, on the Euphrates. Ptol. lib. v.. cap. 15. For several of these places, and the persons from whom they derived their names, see Genesis 10 (note), and the notes there; and see Calmet. |
