The God of glory came to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he was living in Haran, (near Ur in the North. Abraham was living in the south at that time.) And said to him, Go out of your land, (The whole land is called Mesopotamia; between the rivers.) and away from your family, and come into the land to which I will be your guide. Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and went into Haran; and from there, when his father was dead, he was guided by God into this land, where you are living now. Ac 7.2
