Paddan Aram or Padan-aram (Hebrew: פַדַּן אֲרָם, romanized: Paddan ʾĂrām) was a biblical region referring to the northern plain of Aram-Naharaim.[1] Paddan Aram in Aramaic means the field of Aram,[2] a name that distinguishes the flatland from the mountainous regions to the north and east.[3] In the Book of Genesis, Abraham, the patriarch of the Abrahamic religions, describes Aram as "my land" (Genesis 24:4).
