It is primarily known as the place where Terah, the father of Abraham, settled with his family after leaving Ur of the Chaldeans. Haran is also the place where Abraham's brother Nahor established his family, and it served as a temporary dwelling for Jacob when he fled from Esau.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Haran was an ancient city located in what is now southeastern Turkey, near the modern-day border with Syria. It was a major center of trade and commerce due to its strategic location on the trade routes between Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean. The city was also known for its worship of the moon god Sin, which was prevalent in the region. Haran's historical and cultural significance is underscored by its mention in various ancient texts outside the Bible.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">חָרָן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>city in northern Mesopotamia</b></font> (Assyrian <i><em>—arrânu</em></i> = <em>road, path</em> COT<sup>Gloss</sup>; compare Dl<sup>Pa 185</sup>; Jen<sup>Kosmologie 28</sup> 'junction of trading-routes' = <em>cross-roads</em>) — mentioned as city of Abram's sojourn <a href="/interlinear/genesis/11-31.htm">Genesis 11:31</a>, where his father Terah died <a href="/interlinear/genesis/11-32.htm">Genesis 11:32</a>, and whence he departed for Canaan <a href="/interlinear/genesis/12-4.htm">Genesis 12:4,5</a>; where Laban, Jacob's uncle, lived, and whither Jacob fled <a href="/interlinear/genesis/27-43.htm">Genesis 27:43</a>; <a href="/interlinear/genesis/28-10.htm">Genesis 28:10</a> (both <font class="hebrew2">חָרָ֫נָה</font>), <a href="/interlinear/genesis/29-4.htm">Genesis 29:4</a>; as conquered by fathers of Sennacherib <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/19-12.htm">2 Kings 19:12</a> = <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/37-12.htm">Isaiah 37:12</a>; as place of trade <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/27-23.htm">Ezekiel 27:23</a>; Assyrian <i><em>–arrana</em></i> (<em>#NAME?</em>), Schr<sup>COT</sup> on <a href="/interlinear/genesis/11-31.htm">Genesis 11:31</a>; <a href="/interlinear/genesis/27-43.htm">Genesis 27:43</a> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Χαρραν</font>.
