According to Genesis chapter 12:4 says that Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran. This is consistent with the various ages associated with key events in the life of Abram, later known as Abraham. Genesis 17:17 says that Abraham was exactly 100 years old and Sarah was 90 years old when Isaac was born.
Even when Abraham died, his age points to the secret use of numerology based on the number 17:
- Abraham lived to 175 (5 X 5 X 7)
- Isaac lived to 180 (6 X 6 X 5)
- Jacob lived to 147 (7 X 7 X 3
- Each lifespan involves a perfect square (5, 6, then 7 in a numeric series),
- the third factor also forms a series (7, 5, 3)
- in each case the sum of the factors is 17.

When did God appear to Abraham?
This was before Abraham had his name changed: Gen 12:1 The LORD said to Abram, "Leave your country, your relatives, and your father's home, and go to a land that I am going to show you.
Did Abraham's father make idols and is there a reference to it in the Bible?
Genesis 11:26 After Terah had lived 70 years, he became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. Terah was the father of Abram (his name was later changed to Abraham). Although the Bible says Terah "worshiped other gods" (Joshua 24:2), there is no Biblical record of him actually making idols of any kind. There is also no Biblical record of Abraham either making or worshiping idols or "other gods."
What city did Abraham end up in when he left his homeland?
Genesis 11:31 reports that Abraham's father, Terah took Abraham, and his grandson, Lot the son of Haran, from Ur in Chaldea to Haran (or Harran) in southeastern Turkey, on the way to Canaan. The ancient city to which the family relocated had the same name as Terah's son, Haran, which is a strange coincidence and suggests a deeper significance. Ur and Haran were the two principal cities of the moon god, Sin, and it is a very plausible hypothesis that this migration story is a folk memory of the spread of the moon cult from Ur to Haran and then into Palestine.
Is it true that the Hebrews descended from a lesser Canaanite tribe?
No, the Bible says that Abraham, the original ancestor of the Hebrews, came from Ur of the Chaldees.Genesis 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.Answer:The previous answer is traditional, but probably not factual. There was a relationship because the language of Old Canaanite is just a dialect of Hebrew. New scholarship suggests that the Hebrew may in fact have been Canaanites.

How was Abraham's journey to Canaan?
The story begins with Terah, whose sons were Abram, Nahor and Haran. Abram married Sarai, who we learn later was also his sister. Haran, who was the father of Lot, died in the family’s home city of Ur of the Chaldees. Terah then took his extended family to Haran near Canaan, and died there. Ur and Haran happened to be the chief cities of the moon god Sin, which some scholars see as significant in the early development of the Abraham legend.According to the Bible, God told Abram he would make of him a great nation, and said to go to a new land that he would give to his descendants. Abram was seventy five when he left Haran with Lot and his family (12:4) and travelled to Canaan. When Abram reached Shechem, God told him that he would give this land to Abram's descendants, but Abram continued south into the Negev desert. When there was a famine in the land, Abram travelled to Egypt.Genesis gives two parallel stories of Abraham where he got tangled up in his deviousness. First he told the Pharaoh that his wife Sarah was his sister, for fear that the Pharaoh would kill him in order to have sex with her (12:13), only to be found out and banished from Egypt, returning to the Negev. Later (20:2), for the same reason, he told the king of Gerar that his by now quite elderly wife (Sarah was now over 90 years old and stricken with age) really was his sister.Back in the Negev, there was strife between those who tended Abram's flocks and those who tended Lot's, so they parted ways, with Lot crossing the Jordan and Abram staying in the land of Canaan.
