Haran
In the
Bible, Haran (
Hebrew: הָרָן) was a son of
Terah, and brother of
Nahor and
Abram (later Abraham). Genesis records that Haran was the father of
Lot,
Milcah, and
Iscah (Genesis 11:27, 29).Haran (Charran) was a place-name in the ancient Near East. According to Genesis, Abram (later Abraham) lived in Haran for approximately 5 years before continuing on to
Canaan (current day Israel). The city of
Harran in modern southern
Turkey near the border with
Syria may be the city that Abraham and his father Terah settled in on the way to Canaan (Genesis 11:31), or it may have been near
Ur.
