Terah


Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran fathered Lot. - Genesis 11:24-25

A descendant of Shem.

When Nahor had lived 29 years, he fathered Terah. And Nahor lived after he fathered Terah 119 years and had other sons and daughters. When Terah had lived 70 years, he fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

His son Haran died in his presence in the land of his kindred in Ur of the Chaldeans. Terah took Abram, Lot, and Sarai from Ur to go into the land of Canaan. They settled when they came to Haran, though.

His days were 205, and he died in Haran.
