- 19 now when men lived one hundred and eighty years, as Isaac did. All that the Bible says of Abraham’s relations in this long time is that Abraham knew his brother had children and grandchildren. But I believe the two families knew more than this of each other. When Abraham dwelt in the plain of Mamre, where afterwards the city of Hebron was built, he was on the caravan road from Canaan into Mesopotamia, and Haran was a stopping-place for caravans going farther. We know this because Hebron still stands, and is still a starting-place for caravans. Haran has disappeared, but travellers think they have found the site of it on a small river flowing into the upper part of the Euphrates. That it was a centre of caravan trade we know from old writers. If this be so, the two families could send messages back and forth, and I think Rebekah knew more than we are told about Isaac when she said so readily, “I will go,” and started right off.
