Genesis 11:26–12:4

26  When Terah was seventy years old, he had Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

The Family Tree of Terah

27–28  This is the story of Terah. Terah had Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

Haran had Lot. Haran died before his father, Terah, in the country of his family, Ur of the Chaldees.

29  Abram and Nahor each got married. Abram’s wife was Sarai; Nahor’s wife was Milcah, the daughter of his brother Haran. Haran had two daughters, Milcah and Iscah.

30  Sarai was barren; she had no children.

31  Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot (Haran’s son), and Sarai his daughter-in-law (his son Abram’s wife) and set out with them from Ur of the Chaldees for the land of Canaan. But when they got as far as Haran, they settled down there.

32  Terah lived 205 years. He died in Haran.

Abram and Sarai

1  12 God told Abram: “Leave your country, your family, and your father’s home for a land that I will show you.

2–3  I’ll make you a great nation

and bless you.

I’ll make you famous;

you’ll be a blessing.

I’ll bless those who bless you;

those who curse you I’ll curse.

All the families of the Earth

will be blessed through you.”

4–6  So Abram left just as God said, and Lot left with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.
