  1 In the land of the ^aChaldeans, at the residence of my fathers, I, ^bAbraham, saw that it was needful for me to obtain another place of ^cresidence;

  4 Therefore I left the land of ^aUr, of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and I took Lot, my brother’s son, and his wife, and Sarai my wife; and also my ^bfather followed after me, unto the land which we denominated Haran.
