genesis 11:28 And Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans.

< Genesis 11:27
Genesis 11:29 >

      28. Ur--now Orfa; that is, "light," or "fire." Its name probably derived from its being devoted to the rites of fire-worship. Terah and his family were equally infected with that idolatry as the rest of the inhabitants (Jos 24:15).
