It is mentioned in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, serving as a backdrop for key events in the lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Haran is both a person and a place, and its dual significance is reflected in the biblical narrative. Haran as a Person: Haran is first introduced as a person in the genealogy of Terah. Haran is the son of Terah and the brother of Abram (later Abraham) and Nahor. He is the father of Lot, Milcah, and Iscah. Haran's early death in Ur of the Chaldeans is noted in <a href="/genesis/11-28.htm">Genesis 11:28</a>: "While his father Terah was still alive, Haran died in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans." Haran as a Place: Haran, the place, is a city located in the region of Paddan Aram, which is in modern-day southeastern Turkey. It is a significant location in the biblical narrative for several reasons: 1. Abraham's Journey: After the death of Haran, Terah took his family, including Abram, Sarai, and Lot, and set out from Ur to go to Canaan. However, they settled in Haran instead. <a href="/genesis/11-31.htm">Genesis 11:31</a> states, "Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot (son of Haran), and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled there." 2. God's Call to Abram: Haran is the place where God called Abram to leave his country and go to the land that He would show him. This call marks the beginning of Abram's journey of faith and the establishment of the covenant between God and Abram. <a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1-4</a> records this pivotal moment: "Then the LORD said to Abram, 'Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you.'" 3. Jacob's Sojourn: Haran is also significant in the life of Jacob, the grandson of Abraham. After deceiving his brother Esau, Jacob fled to Haran to escape Esau's wrath and to find a wife from his mother's family. In Haran, Jacob worked for his uncle Laban and married Leah and Rachel. <a href="/genesis/28-10.htm">Genesis 28:10-29</a>:30 details Jacob's journey and experiences in Haran. 4. Return to Canaan: After many years in Haran, Jacob returned to Canaan with his family and possessions. This return journey is marked by Jacob's wrestling with God and his reconciliation with Esau. Cultural and Historical Context: Haran was an important city in ancient Mesopotamia, known for its strategic location on trade routes. It was a center of worship for the moon god Sin, which may have influenced the religious practices of the surrounding regions. The city's prominence in trade and religion made it a significant cultural hub during the time of the patriarchs.

It is a place of transition, where significant divine encounters and family events occur, shaping the course of Israel's history.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div>Haranmountainous country<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Haran(a mountaineer). <ol> <li>The third son of Terah, and therefore youngest brother of Abram.

A celebrated city of Western Asia, now Harran, where Abram remained, after he left Ur of the Chaldees, till his father Terah died (<a href="/genesis/11-31.htm">Genesis 11:31</a>, 32), when he continued his journey into the land of Canaan. It is called "Charran" in the LXX. and in <a href="/acts/7-2.htm">Acts 7:2</a>. It is called the "city of Nahor" (<a href="/genesis/24-10.htm">Genesis 24:10</a>), and Jacob resided here with Laban (<a href="/genesis/30-43.htm">30:43</a>). It stood on the river Belik, an affluent of the Euphrates, about 70 miles above where it joins that river in Upper Mesopotamia or Padan-aram, and about 600 miles northwest of Ur in a direct line. It was on the caravan route between the east and west. It is afterwards mentioned among the towns taken by the king of Assyria (<a href="/2_kings/19-12.htm">2 Kings 19:12</a>; <a href="/isaiah/37-12.htm">Isaiah 37:12</a>).

It was probably "the city of Nahor" to which Abraham's servant came to find a wife for Isaac (<a href="/genesis/24-10.htm">Genesis 24:10</a>). Hither came Jacob when he fled from Esau's anger (<a href="/genesis/27-43.htm">Genesis 27:43</a>). Here he met his bride (<a href="/genesis/29-4.htm">Genesis 29:4</a>), and in the neighboring pastures he tended the flocks of Laban. It is one of the cities named by Rabshakeh as destroyed by the king of Assyria (<a href="/2_kings/19-12.htm">2 Kings 19:12</a> <a href="/isaiah/37-12.htm">Isaiah 37:12</a>). Ezekiel speaks of the merchants of Haran as trading with Tyre (27:23). The name appears in Assyro-Babalonian as Charran, which means "road"; possibly because here the trade route from Damascus joined that from Nineveh to Carchemish. It is mentioned in the prism inscription of Tiglath-pileser I. It was a seat of the worship of Sin, the moon-god, from very ancient times. A temple was built by Shalmaneser II. Haran seems to have shared in the rebellion of Assur (763 B.C., the year of the solar eclipse, June 15). The privileges then lost were restored by Sargon II. The temple, which had been destroyed, was rebuilt by Ashurbanipal, who was here crowned with the crown of Sin. Haran and the temple suffered much damage in the invasion of the Umman-Manda (the Medes). Nabuna`id restored temple and city, adorning them on a lavish scale. Near Haran the Parthians defeated and slew Crassus (53 B.C.), and here Caracalla was assassinated (217 A.D.). In the 4th century it was the seat of a bishopric; but the cult of the moon persisted far into the Christian centuries. The chief temple was the scene of heathen worship until the 11th century, and was destroyed by the Mongols in the 13th. The ancient city is represented by the modern Charran to the Southeast of Edessa, on the river Belias, an affluent of the Euphrates. The ruins lie on both sides of the stream, and include those of a very ancient castle, built of great basaltic blocks, with square columns, 8 ft. thick, which support an arched roof some 30 ft. in height. Remains of the old cathedral are also conspicuous. No inscriptions have yet been found here, but a fragment of an Assyrian lion has been uncovered. A well nearby is identified as that where Eliezer met Rebekah. In <a href="/acts/7-2.htm">Acts 7:2, 4</a>, the King James Version gives the name as Charran. W.
