Mesopotamia


The city of Nahor in Mesopotamia

Then the servant took ten of his master's camels and departed, taking all sorts of choice gifts from his master; and he arose and went to Mesopotamia to the city of Nahor. - Genesis 24:10

Abraham insisted upon a wife for Isaac being found among his father's house and in the land of his kindred, not among the Canaanites. She must come to live in the land promised to his offspring. He had his servant swear to this mission, and he found Rebekah for Isaac in the city of Nahor in Mesopotamia.
