The Family of Abraham

² Joshua said to all the people, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your ancestors, including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor,^(A) lived beyond the Euphrates River and worshiped other gods.^(B)

Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor^(F) and Haran.

The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai,^(J) and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milkah;^(K) 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.^(L)
