Gozan--in Mesopotamia, on the Chabour (Kg2 17:6; Kg2 18:11). Gozan is the name of the district, Chabour of the river. Haran--more to the west. Abraham removed to it from Ur (Gen 11:31); the Carroe of the Romans. Rezeph--farther west, in Syria. Eden--There is an ancient village, Adna, north of Baghdad. Some think Eden to be the name of a region (of Mesopotamia or its vicinity) in which was Paradise; Paradise was not Eden itself (Gen 2:8). "A garden in Eden." Telassar--now Tel-afer, west of Mosul [LAYARD]. Tel means a "hill" in Arabic and Assyrian names.
