I understand your confusion and your lack of understanding, as you have built your precepts upon other's precepts and the outcome of that folly is that you will fall over backwards and be caught in the snare.
You suggested that I read Gill's commentary on Gen 24:7 and his words condemned him as a person who had no understanding of the passage or the reason why God entered into a solemn covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15:17-21.
The Jewish leadership in Jesus' day believed that their Messiah would restore to them the "Promised Land" but the "Promised Land" had already been forsaken by that time by their continual idolatrous activity. They believed that the land was promised for an indefinite everlasting period of time, whereas, it was promised for a period of time which was just over their horizon of understanding and its duration was limited by the finite period of time that it was being given for and the purpose that the Promised Land was being given.
In Genesis 24:7, Abraham states very clearly that God had promised to Give Abraham and his descendants
the whole earth as their inheritance and Daniel 7:27 clearly indicates what their inheritance would be all of the earth "
under the whole heaven."
Now since your understanding of God's promises to Abraham is flawed, your foundation of biblical understanding has been built on sand and has no firm foundation.
You went on to mention Joshua 24:2 and wondered why Joshua only mentions Terah and Nahor annd you went on to ask why Haran was missing or not mentioned. You perhaps have forgotten this verse,
Genesis 11:28: - And Haran died before his father Terah in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
which suggest to us that he had returned to Ur to see his father, but that while he was in Ur he died unexpectedly. We are not told how he died in the Bible, but the Book of Jasher does provide a probable cause for his death.
The bible then goes on to tell of the journey to Haran when it recorded the following: -
Genesis 11:31: - And Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram's wife, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran and dwelt there.
where no record of Nahor travelling with Terah, is made, but we learn in later scripture that Nahor also settled in Haran.
Why did Terah leave Ur quickly? The Bible is silent on the reason for leaving Ur but possibly, one of the reasons was to ensure Lot's inheritance of his father's, estate, after his death, otherwise, as the practice was, the estate of haran would have become the possession of Haran's cheif steward.
Again the Book of Jasher provides another explanation as to why Terah left Ur rapidly. Nimrod was wanting to kill Terah and Abraham.
From the silence of the scripture, we can assume that Haran left Ur a number of years earlier during the time of the initial scattering of the people to all parts of the earth, after the building of the Tower of Babel was interrupted by God and built for himself a city which became know as Haran.
Some years later he returns with his son Lot and daughter Milcah to see his father. After Haran's death, Nahor takes Haran's daughter, Milcah as his wife. In Genesis 22: 20-24 we are again introduced to Nahor and Milcah.
It seems to me that you have never asked the question as to "Why is that so?" but have leaned on the babbling of other people to generate what you post.
As such you have accepted what others have written with respect to Acts 7:4 and not questioned as to "Why is that so?" to resolve why both Genesis 12:1 and Acts 7:4 are both true, and accepted an explanation that discredits the truth of Genesis 12:1
You love to forcibly push your understanding of the scriptures on others without the necessities of actually being a learned teacher on the subject matter as you have demonstrated above with your musings.
