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 LotMilcah, 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.
