The Family of Terah
27This is the account of Terah’s family.
Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor,
and Haran; and Haran was the father of
Lot. 28But Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, the land of his birth, while his
father, Terah, was still living. 29Meanwhile, 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

pregnant and had no children.
31One day Terah took his son Abram,

Abram’s wife), and his grandson Lot
(his son Haran’s child) and moved

headed for the land of Canaan, but they

still in Haran.
The Call of Abram

2I will make you into a great nation. I
will bless you and make you famous,
and you will be a blessing to others. 3I
will bless those who bless you and curse
those who treat you with contempt. All
the families on earth will be blessed
through you.”

had instructed, and Lot went with him.
Abram was seventy-five years old when
