The Introduction of Abram

And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abraham’s wife; an the went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. Genesis 11:31

Steps 4, 5, 6, 10, 12

Abrams family leaves Ur of the Chaldees, a close place to Babel. They are moving to go to the land of Canaan, just like Israel will do in a few hundred years. Abram is a descendent of Shem, the son of Noah. Abram’s story will be used by God to set the stage for many people and their experiences with God. Abram is a type of Jesus.
