Chesed
The name "Chesed" is derived from the Hebrew root "חֶסֶד" (chesed), which often translates to "loving-kindness" or "mercy." In the context of the Bible, this word is frequently used to describe God's covenantal love and faithfulness towards His people. The inclusion of Chesed in this genealogy may symbolize the enduring mercy and kindness that God extends to His chosen lineage, reflecting His unwavering commitment to His promises.

Hazo
"Hazo" is a name that appears only in this genealogical listing, and its etymology is less clear. However, it is believed to be of Semitic origin, possibly related to the Hebrew root "חָזָה" (chazah), meaning "to see" or "to perceive." This could imply a sense of vision or insight, suggesting that those in this lineage were granted a special understanding or foresight, perhaps in relation to God's plans and purposes.

Pildash
The name "Pildash" is also unique to this passage, and its meaning is not definitively known. Some scholars suggest a connection to the Hebrew root "פָּלַשׁ" (palash), which means "to roll" or "to wander." This could metaphorically represent the journey or pilgrimage of faith that Abraham's descendants would undertake, emphasizing the transient nature of life and the reliance on God's guidance.

Jidlaph
"Jidlaph" is another name that appears solely in this genealogical record. Its meaning is uncertain, but it may be linked to the Hebrew root "דָּלַף" (dalaph), meaning "to drip" or "to weep." This could symbolize the trials and tribulations faced by Abraham's descendants, as well as the tears shed in the process of spiritual growth and reliance on God's providence.

Bethuel
The name "Bethuel" is significant in the biblical narrative, as he is the father of Rebekah, who becomes the wife of Isaac. "Bethuel" is derived from the Hebrew roots "בֵּית" (beth), meaning "house," and "אֵל" (El), meaning "God." Thus, "Bethuel" can be interpreted as "house of God." This name underscores the divine purpose and blessing inherent in this family line, as Rebekah plays a crucial role in the continuation of God's covenant with Abraham through her marriage to Isaac.

(22) Chesed.--He was not the ancestor of the ancient Chasdim or Chaldees, but possibly of the small tribe of robbers with the same name who plundered Job (Job 1:17). Of the rest, no trace remains in history.

Verse 22. - And Chesed, - according to Jerome the father of the Chasdim or Chaldees (Genesis 11:28); but more generally regarded as the head of a younger branch or offshoot of that race (Keil, Murphy, Lange; cf. Job 1:17) - and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph (concerning whom nothing is known), and Bethnel - "man of God" (Gesenius); dwelling of God (Furst); an indication probably of his piety.
