Abraham was the Biblical character who lived in Ur. Abraham lived in Ur and was called by God to leave his home and travel to a land that God would show him. Abraham followed God and started on the journey as the first Hebrew. As a result, his descendants travelled all the way to the Promised Land. The city of Ur was located in the ancient region known as the Chaldees. This region was in ancient Mesopotamia, along the western part of the Euphrates River.
