  1. Genesis 12:7 Lit. seed

25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.

26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.

28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.

29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.

30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.

31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.

32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

12 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

25 And after he became the father of Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and had other sons and daughters.

26 After Terah had lived 70 years, he became the father of Abram,(A) Nahor(B) and Haran.(C)

Abram’s Family

27 This is the account(D) of Terah’s family line.

Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor(E) and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.(F) 28 While his father Terah was still alive, Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans,(G) in the land of his birth. 29 Abram and Nahor(H) both married. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai,(I) and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milkah;(J) she was the daughter of Haran, the father of both Milkah and Iskah. 30 Now Sarai was childless because she was not able to conceive.(K)

31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot(L) son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law(M) Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans(N) to go to Canaan.(O) But when they came to Harran,(P) they settled there.

32 Terah(Q) lived 205 years, and he died in Harran.

The Call of Abram

12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household(R) to the land(S) I will show you.(T)

25 After he begot Terah, Nahor lived one hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters.

26 Now Terah lived seventy years, and (A)begot [a]Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

Terah’s Descendants

27 This is the genealogy of Terah: Terah begot (B)Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran begot Lot. 28 And Haran died before his father Terah in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans. 29 Then Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram’s wife was (C)Sarai,[b] and the name of Nahor’s wife, (D)Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah. 30 But (E)Sarai was barren; she had no child.

31 And Terah (F)took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and they went out with them from (G)Ur of the Chaldeans to go to (H)the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran and dwelt there. 32 So the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Haran.

Promises to Abram(I)

12 Now the (J)Lord had said to Abram:

“Get (K)out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.
