  • Kal brought the First Doctor to the tribe, claiming he was able to make fire. Hur understood as well as her mate the urgency of learning this secret from the old man and his young friends before Kal could do so. When Hur suspected Old Mother planned to kill the strangers before they could make fire, she was quick to alert Za. When they learned that the old woman had instead helped the strangers escape into the forest, Hur convinced Za that they must recapture them, despite the many dangers which lurked in the night.
  • While Joshua was engaged in battle with the Amalekites at Rephidim, "Moses climbed to the top of the hill with Aaron and Hur. As long as Moses kept his hands raised up, Israel had the better of the fight, but when he let his hands rest, Amalek had the better of the fight. Moses hands however, grew tired, so they put a rock in place for him to sit on. Meanwhile Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other, so that his hands remained steady till sunset. And Joshua mowed down Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword."

  • Kal brought the First Doctor to the tribe, claiming he was able to make fire. Hur understood as well as her mate the urgency of learning this secret from the old man and his young friends before Kal could do so. When Hur suspected Old Mother planned to kill the strangers before they could make fire, she was quick to alert Za. When they learned that the old woman had instead helped the strangers escape into the forest, Hur convinced Za that they must recapture them, despite the many dangers which lurked in the night. Hur was puzzled as to why Ian would help her and her mate, who had been injured by an animal while they pursued him. Because of the wisdom she and Za saw in these strangers, and especially because of her loyalty to her mate, Hur tried to hold back the tribe members led by Horg, who sought to kill the strangers and depose Za. She refused to listen to the strangers' pleas to be set free, even after they had saved Za by giving him the secret of fire. Hur made the horrifying discovery of flaming skulls in the Cave, a ruse devised by Ian. Once the ruse was discovered, Hur joined her mate and the other tribe members in pursuit of the strangers, watching in amazement as the TARDIS vanished into thin air. (TV: An Unearthly Child)
  • While Joshua was engaged in battle with the Amalekites at Rephidim, "Moses climbed to the top of the hill with Aaron and Hur. As long as Moses kept his hands raised up, Israel had the better of the fight, but when he let his hands rest, Amalek had the better of the fight.

Meanwhile Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other, so that his hands remained steady till sunset. And Joshua mowed down Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword." Hur was a leader of Israel during the years in the desert. He, along with Aaron, was left in charge of the people while Moses went up on Mount Sinai. Caleb had a son named Hur. This may or may not have been the same Hur that is mentioned above.
