Editing Terah (section)

==Christian tradition==
In the Christian tradition Abram left Haran after Terah died. The Christian views of the time of Terah come from a passage in the [[New Testament]] at Acts 7:2–4<ref>{{bibleref2|Acts|7:2–4|NIV}}</ref> where [[Saint Stephen|Stephen]] said some things that contrast with Jewish rabbinical views. He said that God appeared to Abraham in Mesopotamia, and directed him to leave the Chaldeans—whereas most rabbinical commentators see Terah as being the one who directed the family to leave [[Ur Kasdim]] from Genesis 11:31: "Terah took his son Abram, his daughter-in-law Sarai (his son Abram's wife), and his grandson Lot (his son Haran's child) and left Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan."<ref>{{bibleref2|Genesis|11:31|NLT}}</ref> Stephen asserts that Abram left Haran after Terah died.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+7:4&version=KJV|title=Bible Gateway passage: Acts 7:4 - King James Version|website=Bible Gateway}}</ref>
