Man living at the time of the Patriarchs
Terah
Nahor’s son and the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran, born when Terah was 70 (Genesis 11:26). The family lived in Ur of the Chaldees, and Joshua says Terah and his fathers “served other gods” (Joshua 24:2). After his son Haran died, Terah took Abram, Sarai, and Lot and set out from Ur for the land of Canaan, but they stopped and settled in Haran, where Terah died at 205 (Genesis 11:27–32). God’s call to Abram then took him on to Canaan (Genesis 12:1–5; Acts 7:2–4).
Father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Left Ur for Haran with Abram and Lot (Genesis 11:31) and died there at 205.
