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.

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.
