It was of a pyramidical form, consisting of eight square towers, gradually decreasing in breadth, with a winding ascent on the outside, so very broad as to allow horses and carriages to pass each other, and even to turn. This magnificent structure is so completely destroyed that its very site is doubtful; and when supposed to be discovered, in all cases exhibiting a heap of rubbish.

Probably Haran was the eldest son of Terah, and Abram his youngest by another wife; and thus Sarai was the daughter, or grand-daughter of Terah, Abram's father, but not of his mother.\nbarren: Gen 15:2, Gen 15:3, Gen 16:1, Gen 16:2, Gen 18:11, Gen 18:12, Gen 21:1, Gen 21:2, Gen 25:21, Gen 29:31, Gen 30:1, Gen 30:2; Jdg 13:2; Sa1 1:2; Psa 113:9; Luk 1:7, Luk 1:36\nam 2078, bc 1926\ntook: Gen 11:26, Gen 11:27, Gen 12:1\nthey went: Gen 11:28, Gen 12:1; Jos 24:2, Jos 24:3; Heb 11:8\nUr: Ur was probably the place called Ouri, in Mesopotamia, two days' journey from Nisibis, in the way to the river Tigris.
