Commentaries on Ezekiel 27:23
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 23Haran - In Mesopotamia; well known in Scripture. Canneh - Or Chalane, see Genesis 10:10. It is supposed to be a cape or port of Arabia Felix, on the Indian Sea. Eden - Equally famous: supposed to have been situated near the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates. Sheba - Different from that in Genesis 10:22. This was probably near the country of the Edomites. Asshur - Perhaps the Assyrians. Chilmad - Possibly Cholmadora, on the Euphrates. Ptol. lib. v…Read the comment

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 23Haran, Canneh, Eden, and Asshur were all located in Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia is in what is now modern Iraq. Chilmad is not mentioned anywhere else in ancient writings. Because of this, some scholars think the name may be a scribal error. A scribal error is a copying mistake made by a writer. It may have originally meant “all Media,” a region northeast of Mesopotamia.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2323. Haran--the dwelling-place of Abraham in Mesopotamia, after he moved from Ur (Ge 11:31). Canneh--Calneh, an Assyrian city on the Tigris; the Ctesiphon of the Greeks (Ge 10:10). Eden--probably a region in Babylonia (see Ge 2:8). Chilmad--a compound; the place designated by Ptolemy "Gaala of Media." The Chaldee version interprets it of Media. Henderson refers it to Carmanda, which Xenophon describes as a large city beyond the Euphrates.Read the comment
