Description
Who was Haran?
Haran was the son of Terah and the brother of Abraham and Nahor, as mentioned in Gen.11.26-31. He was born in Ur of the Chaldeans, where his family originally lived. Haran was the father of Lot, Milcah, and Iscah (Gen.11.27, 29). Milcah later married Haran's brother Nahor (Gen.11.29). Tragically, Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in Ur before the family's migration to Haran (Gen.11.28). After Haran's death, Terah took his son Abram (later known as Abraham), his grandson Lot, and his daughter-in-law Sarai (later known as Sarah) and set out from Ur to go to the land of Canaan. However, they settled in the city of Haran, which was named after Terah's deceased son (Gen.11.31). Haran's death in Ur was a significant event in the family's history, as it marked the beginning of their journey towards the land that God would later promise to Abraham and his descendants.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
