Families looked after one another if something happened: Lot's father Haran died before his father Terah, who was still alive, so his grandfather Terah took Lot in:-.

Gen 11:27 Now these are the generations of Terah:Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.

Gen 11:28 And Haran died before his father Terah ... in Ur of the Chaldees.

Gen 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son... from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, ...

Gen 11:32 And ... Terah died in Haran.

Lot was Abram's (Abraham's) nephew ie the son of Abram's brother Haran, so when Terah died Lot became the responsibility of his uncle Abram:-

Gen 12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: ...

Gen 12:5 And Abram took ... Lot his brother's son...into the land of Canaan; ...

Why did Abraham lead his people out of ancient Mesopotamia?

Because God told Abram to leave his country.. Genesis 12:1-5 And the LORD said to Abram: "Leave your country, your birthplace, and your father's house, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse he who curses you. Through you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." So Abram departed as the LORD had said to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Harran. Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his nephew, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the people whom they had acquired in Harran, and they departed to go to the land of Canaan, and they came to the land of Canaan. Abram in faith obeyed God: Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.


How was Abraham's journey to Canaan?

The story begins with Terah, whose sons were Abram, Nahor and Haran. Abram married Sarai, who we learn later was also his sister. Haran, who was the father of Lot, died in the family’s home city of Ur of the Chaldees. Terah then took his extended family to Haran near Canaan, and died there. Ur and Haran happened to be the chief cities of the moon god Sin, which some scholars see as significant in the early development of the Abraham legend.According to the Bible, God told Abram he would make of him a great nation, and said to go to a new land that he would give to his descendants. Abram was seventy five when he left Haran with Lot and his family (12:4) and travelled to Canaan. When Abram reached Shechem, God told him that he would give this land to Abram's descendants, but Abram continued south into the Negev desert. When there was a famine in the land, Abram travelled to Egypt.Genesis gives two parallel stories of Abraham where he got tangled up in his deviousness. First he told the Pharaoh that his wife Sarah was his sister, for fear that the Pharaoh would kill him in order to have sex with her (12:13), only to be found out and banished from Egypt, returning to the Negev. Later (20:2), for the same reason, he told the king of Gerar that his by now quite elderly wife (Sarah was now over 90 years old and stricken with age) really was his sister.Back in the Negev, there was strife between those who tended Abram's flocks and those who tended Lot's, so they parted ways, with Lot crossing the Jordan and Abram staying in the land of Canaan.
