If he was born in modern day Iraq, then he was an Iraqi .... using modern day “anchor baby” standards, a point that I was careful to make. Reread my post, and see if it’s not there.

The ‘Abiru, iirc, were a nomadic people, and if Abraham is the original one, then that is a designation that came after his leaving Ur of the Chaldees, the area that apparently was his home. After all, didn’t he send his servant to obtain his son’s wife from among his own people?

We’re not using different bibles. We’re probably just looking at different things.

Abraham was not the original one he was descendant of the Adam as so noted in Scripture. While the land wherein one is born might make one a citizen of said land does not by nature made them the same race of said land. Abraham was called a Hebrew not a Urmite of the Chaldees or a Canaanite after he was told to leave the land of the Chaldees.

Saul - Paul was from the tribe of Benjamin yet he was a Roman citizen.

No. Abrahams wife was Sarai whose name was later changed to Sarah. It was Isaac who sent his servant to obtain a wife for him from his mothers homeland. That would have been Rebekah.
