Places
Haran in Genesis 12
HAIR-un
This place shows up in Genesis 12:4: “So Abram went, as Yahweh had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 12:4
“So Abram went, as Yahweh had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.”
What kids can learn
When you hear haran in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 12:4 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
