You see why Trump LOVES the uneducated.. They will believe anything.
surada, your silly ass doesn't fly anywhere near the altitude of my intellect and learning. Not even close.
LOL!
Hey, I know. Why don't you regale us again about how the population of Jerusalem, which didn't even exist at the time, was the same population of the whole Israeli people before they invaded Canaan. That was a good one. Then you can tell us again how the Sumerian city of Ur, which was in fact famously excavated from 1922 to 1934, never existed because it was under water. That was a real knee slapper.
Ur did exist but not at the time of Abraham.. Abraham was probably from Urfa near Haran.
Abraham's Ur - Accuracy in Genesis
www.accuracyingenesis.com › ur.html
Abraham was from the city of Ur according to Genesis 11:31 above. The problem is that there are several places called Ur. It is mostly translated as "Ur of the Chaldeans." The problem with "Chaldeans" is that it is a late word used in the Neo-Babylonian times. It is either anachronistic, or a poor translation.
You've moved the goal posts again, surada. Now you're going on about something else altogether.
We know that Abraham was born in the ancient Sumerian city of Ur in southern Mesopotamia near the Euphrates (a.k.a., Urfa of the Byzantine era) and that his family moved to Haran later, which is just south of it. From there Abraham led his tribe to Canaan.
And Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram's wife, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran and dwelt there. So the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Haran (Gen. 11: 31,32).
This is the biblical "Ur of the Chaldeans". It's neither an anachronism nor a poor translation. Rather, it's merely a translational device of geographic distinction between the hub of the Chaldean trade route of the Neo-Babylonian era and the lesser Ur's, and of course the prevailing hub of the Chaldean trade route of Neo-Babylonian era was still the ancient Sumerian city of Ur in southern Mesopotamia near the Euphrates.
