As a person, Haran is the name of a son of Terah and brother of Abram (later Abraham), Nahor, and Sarai (later Sarah). As a place, Haran refers to a significant city in Mesopotamia, where Terah and his family settled after leaving Ur of the Chaldeans.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Haran, the person, is noted for being the father of Lot, Milcah, and Iscah. He died in Ur of the Chaldeans before his family moved to Haran, the city. The city of Haran was an important trade center in ancient Mesopotamia, located in what is now southeastern Turkey. It was a crossroads for caravans and a center for the worship of the moon god Sin. The city played a significant role in the patriarchal narratives, serving as a temporary home for Abram and his family before they journeyed to Canaan.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>perhaps from <a href="/hebrew/2022.htm">har</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"mountaineer," a brother of Abram, also an Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Haran (7).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">הָרָן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<em>mountaineer</em>;
