Pildash פִּלְדָּשׁ

Who is Pildash in the Bible?

Pildash was a nephew of Abraham, mentioned in Genesis 22:22 as one of the eight sons born to Nahor, Abraham's brother, and his wife Milcah. He lived in the region of Haran during the patriarchal period and was part of Abraham's extended family who remained in Mesopotamia while Abraham journeyed to Canaan in response to God's call. Though Pildash is listed among his brothers Uz, Buz, Kemuel, Chesed, Hazo, Jidlaph, and Bethuel, he receives no further narrative attention in Scripture, serving primarily to establish the genealogical connections between Abraham's immediate family and the broader Aramean kinship groups of the ancient Near East.
