Genesis 11:24-32

24Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and fathered 1Terah; 25and Nahor lived 119 years after he fathered Terah, and he fathered other sons and daughters.

26Terah lived seventy years, and 2fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

27Now these are the records of the generations of Terah. Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and 3Haran fathered 4Lot. 28Haran died 5during the lifetime of his father Terah in the land of his birth, in 6Ur of the Chaldeans. 29Abram and 7Nahor took wives for themselves. The name of Abram’s wife was 8Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was 9Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah 10and Iscah. 3011Sarai was unable to conceive; she did not have a child.

31Now Terah took his son Abram, and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and they departed 12together from 13Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan; and they went as far as Haran and 14settled there. 32The days of Terah were 205 years; and Terah died in Haran.
