Chesed

Che'sed (Hebrews Ke´sed, כֶּשֶׂר, of uncertain signif.; Sept. Χαζάδ, Vulg. Cased, Josephus Χάζαδος, Ant. 1:6, 5), the fourth of the eight sons of Nahor by Milcah (Ge 22:22). B.C. cir. 2088. The name is the same as would be the sing. form of the Hebrews for Chaldaeans; but it is doubtful whether there is any connection. SEE CHALDAEA.
