Paddan Aram was an early Aramean kingdom in Mesopotamia. Paddan Aram in Aramaic mean the field of Aram. ^[1]

Paddan-Aram was also the land from which the biblical Abraham traveled when he first began his oddessey. When dying, he sent his head servant back to this place to find a wife for Isaac, Abraham's son. The steward found Rebekah, who satisfied and exceeded the requirements set forth by Abraham.
