Abraham (Abram) is mentioned in Genesis 11:27 as I know, and he comes from Ur. And then in Genesis 11:30 we see a departure from Ur of Chaldean's which is Ur we can reference below as such:
Sumerian it is Urim or URIM-2-KI and URIM-5-KI of course KI means earth in Sumerian and Urim refers to Ur; Ur of Chaldeas much later on.
Akkadian it is Uru.
And today it is located in Tell el-Muqayyar alongside a Ziggurat.
This would then denote that Abraham is Sumerian, however the name of the patriarch 'abram' is a common stock of West Semitic name known since the beginning of the second millennium BCE.
It is a contracted form of 'iibiram (HALAT 9; DE VAUX 1968:11; I Kgs 16:32; Num 16:1; 26:9; Ps 106:17), written abrn in Ugarit (KTU 4.352:2,4 =IA-bi-ra-mul;; PRU 3,20; 5,85:10: 107:8, cf. also Mari, H. B. HUFFMO AbraJuim is an extended form of 'abram. The extension is rather due to reverence and distinction than dialectic variance.
In historical times, tradition-enfirmed by folkloristic etymology (Gen 17:5; Neh 9:7)-knew the patriarch only by his name 'abraJuim (Mic 7:20; Ps 47:10 etc.). At one time the patriarchs were interpreted as local Canaanite deities, or in terms of astral myth.
Particularly Abrnham. since he was; associated with centres of the Mesopotamian -moon cult (Ur and -Haran).-Sarah was equated with the moon-goddess and Abraham's father -Terah with the moon (= Yerah).
Though in biblical tradition, there are allusions to the ancient cults of Abraham's place of origin (Josh 24:2), Tracing the origins of Abraham within the complicated traditions of the Pentateuch is extremely difficult.
Pentateuch traditions picture him as the founder of a number of cult-places Abraham has an important place as far as gender law is considered in the ancient Hebraic sense, as the wife has limited jurisdiction and Sarah has to get authority from Abraham to chastise Hagar.
Abraham is presented in the Bible as having come from Mesopotamia. The descendants of Abraham spent centuries in Egypt and then came to dwell in the midst of a Canaanite civilization. The language spoken by the Israelite's is historically related to the languages of the Semitic world around them. Copies of ancient Near Eastern literature have been discovered in the excavations of Israelite cities.
So Abraham to reiterate is Common Stock West Semitic name, while Ur is Sumerian, the Sumerian's are Pre Semitic aggulganative speaking culture.
So why the reference in Biblical mythologies to Abram as Semitic, when Abram comes from Ur making him Sumerian and not Semitic? Also, why the improper name as Sumerian's are not West Semitic people and are Pre Semitic? Did monotheist sectarian's not realize this?
