Genesis 11:31-32
[31]One day Terah took his son Abram, his daughter-in-law Sarai (his son Abram’s wife), and his grandson Lot (his son Haran’s child) and moved away from Ur of the Chaldeans. He was headed for the land of Canaan, but they stopped at Haran and settled there.
[32]Terah lived for 205 years and died while still in Haran.
Genesis 12:4
[4]So Abram departed as the lord had instructed, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.
According to the biblical book of Genesis, Abraham left Ur, in Mesopotamia, because God called him to found a new nation in an undesignated land that he later learned was Canaan. He obeyed unquestioningly the commands of God, from whom he received repeated promises and a covenant that his “seed” would inherit the land.
