Haran: Biakam Hlun Khuapi Pakhat

Haran khua hi, Israelmi tuanbia ah a biapi taktakmi khua pakhat a si. Asinain mi tampi nih a kong an chim tuk lem lo caah, vawlei tuanbia ah theih tukmi le a lar tukmi khua a si lem lo. Naite ah Canaan ram in a upa Esau tih ruah ah Haran ah a zaami Jacob kong bible study ah kan cawng i, Haran kong hi theih a tlak taktakmi a si tiah ka ruah caah, hi capar ah ka tialnak a si.

Haran khua hi Israel tuabia aa thawknak khua khan a si. Zeicatiah hi khua ah hin Abraham pa Terah nih a chungkhar cu Canaan ah pem ding in a kalpi hna nain, hi khua ah a tang i, cu ka ah a thih tiang a um. Hi khua a biapitnak bik cu, Abraham le Pathian an i ton hmasatnak khua a si caah a si. Pathian nih Abram (ahnu ah Abraham) a auhnak le Canaaan ram pem a fialnak khua a si (Gen. 12:1-4). Lamkaltu 7:2-5 tu ahcun Steven nih hi tin a chim: "Abraham hi Haran an pem hlan, Mesopotamia ram i a rak um lio ah, sunparnak Pathian a sin ah a lang i bia a kamh." Asinain Genesis chimmi tu hi, mi tam deuh nih a dik in chim deuh a si.

Ur in Canaan ram ah Abraham pemnak lam

Genesis 12 ahcun Pathian nih Abraham a kawhnak hi Haran phanh hnu khan in a chim. Genesis ning in chim ahcun, "Pathian nih Abraham hmang in, minung sinah a thar in aa phuannak khua cu Haran khua hi a si" kan ti khawh. Zeicatiah Buanchukcho a dih hnu in le Babel innsang an sak i vawlei khuazakip an i thek hnu in, minung nih Pathian an biaknak hi Bible ah kan hmu ti lo. Noah fapa Shem chan in rel tik ah, a chan (9) nak ah Abraham a chuak. Hi chan (9) chung vialte minung nih, Pathian an biaknak kong hi, bible ah a um ti lo.  Cucaah Haran cu minung sinah Pathian aa phuannak khua a si kan ti khawh.

Haran timi hi, Hebrew ah (חָרָן‎ Ḥārān) ti in aa tial. Turkey ah a ummi khua pakhat "Harran" ('r' pahnih in tial) timi he aa khat riprep. Hebrew biafang zoh tikah, "Harran" timi a sullam cu "tlangcungmi" (mountaineer) ti zong a si i, "parched" (nilin ah thil car) asiloah "tihal" ti khi a si. Accadian holh "charana" ti zong a si kho i, cucu a sullam cu "lam" (a road) tinak a si.  

Haran hi cinthlaknak le zuatkhalhnak hmunhma pical ngai a rak si. Abraham a pa, Terah hi, Canaan ram pem a rak i thawh ko nain, Haran a phak ah um hmun a khuar i a tang (Gen 11:31). Zei ruang dah a tan hnga timi kan thei lo nain, hi khua hi sipuazi a that caah a si kho men. Hi ka khua ah hin, BC 2000-1900 kuakap ah Pathian nih Abraham cu a kawh i, Canaan ram ah pem a rak fial. Cu ram ahcun telefa le ram pek i, miphun nganpi ah ser ding kha Bawipa biakam a si (Genesis 12).

Haran khuarawp an hlaimi hmun khat

Haran khuaram (region) hrawng hi, Paddan Aram asilole Aram Naharaim tiah an auh. Abraham hi kum 75 a si tiang Haran ah a um. Abraham le a nupi Sarah le an tupa Lot cu Haran chuahtak in Canaan pem an rak i thawh. A hnu ah Abraham i a tupa Jacob cu Haran ah a va zam. A nuta Laban fanule pahnih-Leah le Rachael- a va thit hna. Hi ka khua ah hin, Pathian nih Jacob cu nupi fate he, satil he thluachuah tampi a pek i, Canaan ram a phanh hlan in, mirum ah a ser.

Haran khua hi, hlanlio khuahlun taktak a si. Mesopotamia chaklei, Jullab tiva kam ah a um. Cu Jullab tiva cu Balih Tivapi i tivatengnge a si. Haran hi Turkey ram ummi a tu lio khua Urfa timi khuapi in nichuah-thlanglei Km 35 hlatnak ah a um. Syria le Turkey ramri pawngte ummi a si. Khuahlun taktak a si. Kum 1950-59 kua hrawng ah, Haran khuarawp cu an hlai i, innlo zeimaw zat an hmuh. Khua kulhnak vampang zong an hmuh.

Haran hi, Mesopotamia le Mediterranean Rili karlak i khual tlawnnak lampi an i tonnak hmun ah a ummi khua a si. Lam tampi aa tonnnak ah a um. Cucaah ralkap lei le raltuknak lei ah a biapi taktakmi hmun hma ah a um caah, siangpahrang ram lianlian kuttang ah a rak um lengmang. Hlanlio Babylon chawlet pawl an thilri chiahnak khua pakhat a rak si./Haran timi hi Akkadian holh in "harranu" ti a si. Cu a sullam cu Mirang holh cun "journey caravan" ti a si. Cucu Lai holh cun "khual tlawnnak/bupi khual tlawngmi" tinak a si. Cu biafang nih a langhtermi cu Haran hi khual tlawng le chawletmi tampi an i dinhnak khua a si tinak a si.

Cucaah cu bantuk in khua tha le khua thangcho a si caah, Abraham a pa Terah zong hi Ur in Haran ah a rak pemnak a si kho ve. Cun Terah pem lio ah hin, Ur hrawng hi a dai lo. Ral an rak i tu peng i, Terah hi khua a thanchonak le a daihnak deuh Haran ah rak pem sehlaw a dawh.

Haran khuapawng tuu tlawnnak (Jacob a rak vahvaihnak hmun hrawng a si)

Haran hi raltuknak lei ah hmunhma biapi taktak ah a um caah, cozah phun kip nih an rak tuk i an rak lak tawn. Hlan ah, Amorite miphun sermi Mari Pennak tang ah a rak um. Mari khua hi Babylon le Haran karlak um. Cu hnu hnu ah Hittite le Mitannian Pennak tang ah a um than.

BC kum zabu 8 nak le 7 nak ahcun, Assyrian pennak tangah a rak um (2 Siangpahrang 19:2; Isaih 37:12). Khua rum ngai a si caah, Haran hi BC kum zabu 6 nak ahcun Phoenician kuapi Tyre he zong cawkzorhnak ah hnatlaknak a rak ngeimi an si (Ezekiel  27:23). Bible zong ah a langmi khua a si. 

Cu hnu ah Assyrian le Babylonian Empire tangah an um than. Assyrian siangpahrang hna kuttang ah a rak um tawn i, a khua kha fek tein an rak kulh. Assyrians khualipi Nineveh a tluk hnu BC 612 ah caan tawite chung cu, Haran hi Assyrians an headquarter ah an rak hman.

Biaknak lei zong ah hmunpi a rak si. Abraham chuahnak khua Ur hi "Sin" timi "Thlapa pathin" (moon god) caah hmunlaili a si. Haran zong ah hin, "Sin pathian" caah biakinn nganpi a um tiah Mari lungcatial ah a um. Cu Sin pathian cu Assyrian siangpahrang Sargon le Assurbanipal nih, biatak tein an rak remh ti a si. A hnu bik Babylon Emperor Nibonidus (556-539 BC) i a nu cu "Sin pathian tlangbawinu a si i, Babylon in Sin pathian lem kha Haran ah a thial than i, a rak bunh than hna."

Haran i "Thlapa Pathian" (SIN) biaknak inn hlaimi (Ref. Bibleplaces.com)

Terah a thih hnu ah, Abraham le a tupa Lot le an sinum cheukhat le an satil run cu Canaan ram pem ah an rak i thawh. Terah cu Haran ah a thi. Canaan a phan thai lo. Abraham tupa Jacob cu a upa Esau thluachuah a co dih hnu ah, a nuta pa umnak hi Haran khua ah hin a rak zam. Cu ka ah Nahor fapa Laban fanu hna-Leah le Rachael- a va thit hna.

Hi Haran ah hin Jacob hi Rachel co ruah ah, kum 14 a pu Laban a rianh. Cu hnu ah kum 6 Laban sin ah a um rih i, a rian a bomh rih. Cucaah a zapite kum 20 (7+7+6=20) Haran ah khua a sa Gen 31:38, 41). Cu ka ahcun Leah he fapa pali-Reuben, Siemeon, Levi le Judah an hrin hna (Gen 29:31-35). Caan sau nawn hnu ah, Leah kha Jacob nih a ihpi than i, fapa pahnih-Issakhar le Zebulun-a hrin hna. Cu hnu ah fanu Dinah a hrin than (Gen 30:18-21). Leah he fapa (6) an hrin hna.

Caan karlak ah, Jacob cu Rachel salnu, Bilhah he Dan le Naftali an ngeih hna. Leah salnu, Zilpah he zong fapa pahnih-Gad le Asher- an ngei than hna. Cucaah, Jacob hi salnu pahnih-Bilhah le Zilpah- he fapa (4) an ngeiti tinak a si. Kum tam nawn hnu ah Rachel zong cu fapa a van ngei ve i, a  min ah Joseph a si (Genesis 30:23,24). Jacob nih hin, fapa (12) a hrin hna i, Benjamin dah ti lo cu, an zapi tein Haran ah ah an chuak dih. Cucu a biapi taktakmi tuanbia a si.

Jacob hi, Haran a um lio ah a pu Laban satil a rak cawng. Pathian nih thluachuah a pek i, telefa tam ngai a ngeih pin ah satil zong tam ngaite a ngei. Phun dang in chim ahcun a vahvaihnak Haran ram ah mirum le milian ngai ah aa chuah. Canaan ram a kir tik zongah, mirum taktak in a kir timi kan hmuh.

Khuaruahhar bik a simi cu, Haran a um lio ah a hrinmi Leah fapa-Judah chung in, David, Solomon te hna zong an chuak i, kan Bawipa Jesuh zong hi Judah cithlah in a chuakmi a si. Pathian cu "Bia" a si i, cu "Bia" cu titsa cannak ding caah, Leah fapa-Judah ciruang- hi a rak hman.

Cu Judah cu hi Haran khua ah a chuakmi a si. Cucaah Haran khua hi, Judahmi le Krihfa kan caah, a sunglawi taktakmi le philh awk a thalomi khua pakhat a si!!
