Abram Came Out of Ur
In Genesis 11:31 we are told how God led Terah and his son Abram and his grandson Lot out of Ur of the Chaldeans towards the land of Canaan. Now the city of Ur is known to have been one of the main seats of worship for the god Sin. So, quite literally, God led Terah, Lot and Abram "out of the land of Sin."
