- Yes, date unknown

• Name	Kesed ben Arphaxad
  Gender	Male
  Death	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	«b»http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arpachshad «/b»Other ancient Jewish sources, particularly the «u»Book of Jubilees «/u», point to Arpachshad as the immediate progenitor of Ura and Kesed, who allegedly founded the city of \ul«i»Ur Kesdim \ulnone«/i» (Ur of the Chaldees) on the west bank of the «u»Euphrates «/u» (Jub. 9:4; 11:1-7) \emdash the same bank where «u»Ur «/u», identified by «u»Leonard Woolley «/u» in 1927 as Ur of the Chaldees, is located. Donald B. Redford has asserted that Arpachshad is to be identified with «u»Babylon«/u». Until Woolley's identification of Ur, Arpachshad was understood by many «u»Jewish «/u» and «u»Muslim «/u» scholars to be an area in northern «u»Mesopotamia «/u», Urfa of the «u»Yazidis «/u». This led to the identification of Arpachshad with «u»Urfa-Kasid «/u» (due to similarities in the names and ) - a land associated with the «u»Khaldis «/u», whom «u»Josephus «/u» confused with the «u»Chaldean «/u».
