Haran

Şanlıurfa Province, Turkey

Harran (Hebrew: חָרָן, Ḥārān) is a city mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, whose ruins might be in the city of Harran, which lie within present-day Turkey. Haran first appears in the Book of Genesis as the home of Terah and his descendants, and as Abraham's temporary home. Later biblical passages list Haran among some cities and lands subjugated by Assyrian rulers and among Tyre's trading partners.
