what is the meaning of chaldeans in the bible
Chaldea The names Chaldea and Chaldaea are latinizations of the Greek Khaldaía (Χαλδαία), a hellenization of Akkadian māt Kaldu or Kašdu. The name appears in Hebrew in the Bible as Kaśdim (כשדים)[6] and in Aramaic as Kaldo (ܟܠܕܘ). Its inhabitants are called Chaldeans. The Hebrew word first appears in the Bible alongside Urfa as Arfa-ksad (ארפ־כשד), the Light of the Chaldeans (אוּר כַּשְׂדִּים), and as one of the five original Semitic nations of the Bible which include Lud, Elam, Ashur and Aram.
