Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -From Ur, Abraham traveled 700 miles to the borders of present-day Iraq, another 700 miles into Syria, another 800 down to Egypt by the inland road, and then back into Canaan-what is now Israel. It is a journey that today’s pilgrim, for reasons of international polity, cannot easily replicate.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Lord told him to leave Haran and go to place that He would show him. He also said, “I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you.” Abram left Haran with Sarai, Lot and many other people. Abram was 75 years old when they left.
