The Book of Jasher tells us what "Ur" was, it was the "fire" of the Kasdim/Chaldees, which Nimrod had Abram thrown into, and Abram lived three days in the fire.
He was thrown into the fire because he smashed his father, Terah's, false gods, and mocked them. He had been living with Noah and Shem [at Mount Moriah] for 30 years, learning the ways of YHWH while hiding out from Nimrod, who wanted to kill him when he had dreams of him at his birth, and who had thought that he had killed him, but discovered Terah gave him a slave's son to kill, back when Abram was born.
Terah hid him with his mother for ten years in a cave, then he lived with Noah and Shem for 30 years, and he came back to his father's house after the Tower of Bab-El was destroyed, and he smashed his father's gods.
Terah told Nimrod.
Nimrod was angry that Abraham was still alive.
Terah blamed his older son, Haran for the deception, and both Haran and Abram were thrown into the fire -אור 'Uwr.
Haran was the father of Sarah/Iscah, Lot and Milcah [Genesis 11:29]. Sarah was taken as a wife by Abram at that time.

Then abram's escape from the fire, and his call to go out from that land, afterwards, are in chapters 12 and 13.

Using extra biblical sources to interpret what the bible says is unwise...
