Terah
was the father of Abram, Nahor, Haran, and Sarai. Abram and Sarai had
different mothers. Haran died in Ur of the Chaldees. He was the
father of Lot, Milcah, and Iscah. Abram and Sarai were married. Nahor and Milcah were married. Terah, Abram, Sarai, and Lot journeyed from Ur to Haran. When Terah died in Haran, they left for Canaan. Abram had a son, Ishmael, by Sarai's handmaid, Hagar, who was an Egyptian. This may have been a custom when the wife was barren. Abram and
Sarai
had
a son 14 years later named Isaac. Isaac married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel and sister to Laban from the city of Haran. Isaac
and Rebekah had sons, Esau and Jacob. Jacob married Rachael and Leah,
the daughters of Laban. He also had children by their handmaids,
Bilhah and Zilpah. |
