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,
Genesis 11:27-32. Abraham, his father, Terah, nephew Lot, with their wives left Ur in southern Mesopotamia, almost at the northernmost coast of the Persian Gulf. Ur was one of the first cities built in the plains between the Tigris and Euphrates after the family of Noah migrated south and eastward from the Mountains of Ararat after the landing of the Ark.
They came to Haran in Padam Aram in Northwest Mesopotamia (modern day Syria/Iraq border area) where Terah and Nahor settled their families there and the whole family dwelt in Haran for a time until God again called Abram to travel to the land He had chosen for Abram. It seems that Nahor already lived in Haran because he did not travel from Ur with the group. Later, Isaac send for a wife from the family of Nahor in Haran. Rebecca. Haran became a major city on the trade routes from Egypt through Canaan to the Tigris-Euphrates plains that lie between these rivers going northwest to southeast to the Persian Gulf. Abram, Sarai, Lot journeyed from Haran to Canaan.
God asked Abram to leave his family and set out with Sarai to the land God would show him. Lot went with them to Canaan. ( Genesis 12) It seems that Abram had servants that went with them whom they had acquired while residing in Haran. ( Gen 12:5) So, there must have been a larger group of people than just Abram, Sarai, and Lot.
Abram and Sarai and Lot descended from Noah's son, Shem, therefore were known as Semites along with all the other descendants of Shem that formed other people groups and tribes. He was descended from Eber (sometimes spelled Heber) and therefore was called a Hebrew along with all of the other descendants of Eber that formed other people groups and tribes. By the time of Abram, the Semites and more narrowly, the Hebrews were a large race of people. But as one can see from the list of nations in Genesis 10, God was slowly narrowing down the family and tribes that He wished to work through in those days as people selected.
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,
It is said to be near southern Iraq.
I hope this helps.
God bless.
