Answer 1

According to Jewish tradition, Abraham was from the Mesopotamian city of Ur before the establishment of Israel.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Jewish tradition and Hebrew Bible sources, Abraham was originally from the kingdom of Ur in Mesopotamia before the region became known as Israel.

This period dates back to around 1900 BCE when Abraham led his followers out of Ur to become wandering herders.

Mesopotamia was an area that is now mostly modern-day Iraq and parts of Iran, Turkey, and Syria. The journey of Abraham to Canaan (which later became Israel) is a central narrative for the religions that see him as their patriarch, but archaeological evidence supporting his existence and the narratives from the Bible are sparse.
