The Family of Terah, Genesis Chapter 11

This is an account of Shem’s family. [Noah’s son. Eight generations later, Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran] (see vv. 10-26, NLT)

This is an account of Terah’s family. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot. But Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, the land of his birth, while his father, Terah, was still living. Meanwhile, Abram and Nahor both married. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah. (Milcah and and her sister Iscah were daughters of Nahor’s brother, Haran.) But Sarai was unable to become pregnant and had no children.

One day, Terah took his son, Abram, his daughter-in-law, Sarai (his son Abram’s wife) and his grandson Lot (his so Haran’s child) and moved away from Ur of the Chaldeans. He was headed for the land of Canaan, but they stopped at Haran and settled there. Terah lived for 205 years and he died while still in Haran. (vv 27-32, NLT)
