When the Bible talk about the Chaldeans, it can be referring to either of the following:
1. The people who lived in southern Babylon (in present-day Iraq).
2. The people of Babylon: There was a time in the Bible when the Chaldeans were so popular that they were synonymous with Babylon. In Isaiah 13:9; 47:1,5; 48:14; Daniel 5:30; the term ‘Chaldeans’ was used to refer to the people of Babylon.
3. Astrologers and Influential people in Babylon: The Chaldeans are a highly intelligent and educated group of people. They were termed wise men and astrologers during the time of Jewish captivity in Babylon.
