I have been researching all the Biblical characters from Noah to Abraham. It is very enlightening, especially Noah who was born with a shining glow like an angel. Reading the Biblical characters gives answers to some of your questions.
It may been the reason for the move from Southern Arabia (land of Arphaxad on the Biblical map), also known as Mesopotamia, to Haran in Northern Mesopotamia (Haran) due to Nebucchnezzar coming with his army to take over the Eastern Hills (southern Arabia).
