Add as a note on c. 12. v. 12. p. 706. l. 33.
Sedeh Aram, the country of Syria, may be otherwise rendred, the field, country, or patrimony of Aram, so taking Aram for the proper name of the person to whom that country fell as a lot or heritage, and had from him that name. It will be still the same thing whether it be taken for the person or the place, either way denoting Syria, which was first called Aram, from Aram the son of Shem, Gen. 10.22. and not from Aram, the son of Kemuel, mentioned Gen. 22.21. as some seem to think, as Bochartus observes Geog. l. 2. c. 5. As for the word Sedeh, it is used as well for a patrimony or heritage, as for a field, 2 Sam. 9.7.
