Where Haran appears in Scripture
וַֽיְחִי-תֶרַח שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה וַיּוֹלֶד אֶת-אַבְרָם אֶת-נָחוֹר וְאֶת-הָרָֽן׃
And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
וְאֵלֶּה תּֽוֹלְדֹת תֶּרַח תֶּרַח הוֹלִיד אֶת-אַבְרָם אֶת-נָחוֹר וְאֶת-הָרָן וְהָרָן הוֹלִיד אֶת-לֽוֹט׃
Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
וַיָּמָת הָרָן עַל-פְּנֵי תֶּרַח אָבִיו בְּאֶרֶץ מֽוֹלַדְתּוֹ בְּאוּר כַּשְׂדִּֽים׃
And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
וַיִּקַּח אַבְרָם וְנָחוֹר לָהֶם נָשִׁים שֵׁם אֵֽשֶׁת-אַבְרָם שָׂרָי וְשֵׁם אֵֽשֶׁת-נָחוֹר מִלְכָּה בַּת-הָרָן אֲבִֽי-מִלְכָּה וַֽאֲבִי יִסְכָּֽה׃
And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
וַיִּקַּח תֶּרַח אֶת-אַבְרָם בְּנוֹ וְאֶת-לוֹט בֶּן-הָרָן בֶּן-בְּנוֹ וְאֵת שָׂרַי כַּלָּתוֹ אֵשֶׁת אַבְרָם בְּנוֹ וַיֵּֽצְאוּ אִתָּם מֵאוּר כַּשְׂדִּים לָלֶכֶת אַרְצָה כְּנַעַן וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד-חָרָן וַיֵּשְׁבוּ שָֽׁם׃
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, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
בְּנֵי שִׁמְעִי (שלמות) שְׁלוֹמִית וַֽחֲזִיאֵל וְהָרָן שְׁלֹשָׁה אֵלֶּה רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לְלַעְדָּֽן׃
