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.
