Usage: Kesed is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a person, specifically one of the sons of Nahor, Abraham's brother. The name is associated with the Chaldeans, a group known for their wisdom and astrology in ancient Mesopotamia. Cultural and Historical Background: In the biblical narrative, Kesed is mentioned as one of the sons of Nahor and Milcah, making him a nephew of Abraham.
