1365. Verse 28. And Haran died upon the faces of Terah his father, in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. “And Haran died upon the faces of Terah his father, in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees,” signifies that interior worship was blotted out and became merely idolatrous; by “Haran” is signified interior idolatrous worship; by “Terah his father,” as before, idolatrous worship in general; by “the land of his nativity,” the origin whence it was derived; by “Ur of the Chaldees,” external worship in which there are falsities.
