And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldeans.

But Sarai was barren; she had no child.

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get you out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house, unto a land that I will show you:

You are the LORD, the God who did choose Abram, and brought him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name of Abraham;

And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,

Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Haran: and from there, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, in which you now dwell.

And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto your descendants will I give this land: and there built he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.

For all the land which you see, to you will I give it, and to your descendants forever.

Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto you.

And found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his descendants, and have performed your words; for you are righteous:

Saying, Unto you will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

And gave them the lands of the nations: and they inherited the labor of the people;

For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his descendants, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
