About Pildash
Pildash is mentioned in Gen.22.22 as one of the eight sons of Nahor, Abraham's brother, and Milcah, Nahor's wife. He is listed alongside his brothers Uz, Buz, Kemuel, Chesed, Hazo, Jidlaph, and Bethuel. Pildash was Abraham's nephew and would have been part of the extended family living in the region of Haran, where Abraham had originally settled with his father, Terah, before being called by God to go to Canaan (Gen.11.31).
