Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.

Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. They went forth from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there.

He said to him, "I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it."
