27 Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and (A)Haran became the father of (B)Lot. 28 And Haran died [a]in the presence of Terah his father in the land of his birth, in (C)Ur of the Chaldeans. 29 Abram and (D)Nahor took wives for themselves. The name of Abram’s wife was (E)Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife was (F)Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah. 30 (G)And Sarai was barren; she had no child.

31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went out [b]together from (H)Ur of the Chaldeans in order to go to the land of Canaan; and they came as far as Haran and [c]settled there. 32 And the days of Terah were 205 years; and Terah died in Haran.

Abram’s Family

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

Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor(B) and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.(C) 28 While his father Terah was still alive, Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans,(D) in the land of his birth. 29 Abram and Nahor(E) both married. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai,(F) and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milkah;(G) 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.(H)

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