This
is the 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 the name
of Nahor’s wife was Milcah. (Milcah 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 son 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 died while still in Haran.
Joshua said to the people, “This is what the Lord,
the God of Israel, says: Long ago your ancestors, including Terah, the
father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River, and they worshiped
other gods."
