Now these are the records of the generations of Terah. Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran fathered Lot.

Haran died during the lifetime of his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans.

Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and Iscah.

Abram Journeys to Egypt

Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you;

As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you will be buried at a good old age.

“As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, And you will be the father of a multitude of nations.

No longer shall you be named Abram, But your name shall be Abraham; For I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him, and make him fruitful and multiply him exceedingly. He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation.

Then the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to have relations with us according to the custom of all the earth.

On the following day, the firstborn said to the younger, “Look, I slept last night with my father; let’s make him drink wine tonight too, then you go in and sleep with him, so that we may keep our family alive through our father.”

And so both of the daughters of Lot conceived by their father.

The firstborn gave birth to a son, and named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

As for the younger, she also gave birth to a son, and named him Ben-ammi; he is the father of the sons of Ammon to this day.

and it was Bethuel who fathered Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.

The Lord, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my birth, and who spoke to me and who swore to me, saying, ‘To your descendants I will give this land’—He will send His angel ahead of you, and you will take a wife for my son from there.

and he said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room for us to stay overnight at your father’s house?”

but you shall go to my father’s house and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’

And he said to me, ‘The Lord, before whom I have walked, will send His angel with you to make your journey successful, and you will take a wife for my son from my relatives and from my father’s house;
