“And Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai the wife of Abram, and they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans for the land of Canaan. But when they arrived in Haran, they settled there.”
“And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was named Milcah; she was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah.”
“This is the account of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.”
“When Terah was 70 years old, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.”
“And Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all the possessions and people they had acquired in Haran, and set out for the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,”
“Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you.”
“So Abram departed, as the LORD had directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.”
