So they are viewed as Semitic. The first real significant patriarch of the Hebrew Bible is considered Abraham, who I just mentioned. And it has Abraham moving from Ur, from the city of Ur, and there's debate on which Ur that is. It might be the ancient Sumerian city in lower Mesopotamia, or some people believe that it was an Ur in upper Mesopotamia. But regardless of which account you take, and once again, Abraham is considered by many historians as a legendary figure, so there's not clear evidence that he existed in a historical sense. But if you take the accounts in the Old Testament and the Hebrew Bible, he would have gone with his family from Ur and eventually migrated to Canaan, which is in near or around modern-day Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, that general area. So it's either from this Ur or that Ur.
