A city in northern Mesopotamia (modern southern Turkey) where Abraham's family settled after leaving Ur. His father Terah died here. Abraham later left Haran at age 75 when God called him to continue the journey to Canaan. Jacob also fled here to escape Esau and ended up working for his uncle Laban for 20 years.
