Ur of the Chaldeans (Ur Kasdim) was Terah's original homeland where he raised his family, including his sons Abram (Abraham), Nahor, and Haran.
Most scholars identify this as the ancient Sumerian city-state of Ur in modern-day southern Iraq (though some scholars place it in northern Mesopotamia near modern-day southeastern Turkey).
