Ur
Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary
The memorable spot from whence the Lord called Abraham when an idolater. Sweet thought to the believer! It is JEHOVAH'S grace, and not man's deserts, even in the instance of an Abraham, that is the sole cause of salvation. Some make Ur to mean light or fire, from Aor. (Genesis 11:28)
