Final answer:

The Egyptian record from 925 B.C. that may relate to the lives of the patriarchs mentions the city of Jericho, which is also referenced in the Merneptah Inscription dating back to 1207 BCE.

Step-by-step explanation:

The place name mentioned in an Egyptian record from 925 B.C. that may relate to the lives of the patriarchs is Jericho. This city is referenced in the Merneptah Inscription which dates back to 1207 BCE and is considered the oldest Egyptian record to reference the early Hebrews, who lived as a tribe in Canaan. The city of Ur, while associated with the biblical patriarch Abraham, is not the mentioned place in this record. Similarly, while the Neolithic town of Çatalhöyük may have shared a belief in a mother-deity, and Abraham is believed to have come from Mesopotamia according to the Hebrew Bible, neither of these places are the subject of the Egyptian record in discussion.
