- Genesis 12:4 sn So Abram left. This is the report of Abram’s obedience to God’s command (see v. 1).
- Genesis 12:4 tn Heb “just as the Lord said to him.”
- Genesis 12:4 tn The disjunctive clause (note the pattern conjunction + subject + implied “to be” verb) is parenthetical, telling the age of Abram when he left Haran.
- Genesis 12:4 tn Heb “was the son of five years and seventy year[s].”sn Terah was 70 years old when he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran (Gen 11:26). Terah was 205 when he died in Haran (11:32). Abram left Haran at the age of 75 after his father died. Abram was born when Terah was 130. Abram was not the firstborn—he is placed first in the list of three because of his importance. A similar situation is true of the list in Gen 10:1 (Shem, Ham, Japheth), as Ham was the youngest son (9:24).
Acts 7:2-4
New English Translation
2 So he replied,[a] “Brothers and fathers, listen to me. The God of glory appeared to our forefather[b] Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he settled in Haran, 3 and said to him, ‘Go out from your country and from your relatives, and come to the land I will show you.’[c] 4 Then he went out from the country of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father died, God[d] made him move[e] to this country where you now live.
