Where Terah appears in Scripture
וַיְחִי נָחוֹר תֵּשַׁע וְעֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וַיּוֹלֶד אֶת-תָּֽרַח׃
And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
וַיְחִי נָחוֹר אַֽחֲרֵי הֽוֹלִידוֹ אֶת-תֶּרַח תְּשַֽׁע-עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה וּמְאַת שָׁנָה וַיּוֹלֶד בָּנִים וּבָנֽוֹת׃
And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
וַֽיְחִי-תֶרַח שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה וַיּוֹלֶד אֶת-אַבְרָם אֶת-נָחוֹר וְאֶת-הָרָֽן׃
And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
וְאֵלֶּה תּֽוֹלְדֹת תֶּרַח תֶּרַח הוֹלִיד אֶת-אַבְרָם אֶת-נָחוֹר וְאֶת-הָרָן וְהָרָן הוֹלִיד אֶת-לֽוֹט׃
Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
וַיָּמָת הָרָן עַל-פְּנֵי תֶּרַח אָבִיו בְּאֶרֶץ מֽוֹלַדְתּוֹ בְּאוּר כַּשְׂדִּֽים׃
And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
וַיִּקַּח תֶּרַח אֶת-אַבְרָם בְּנוֹ וְאֶת-לוֹט בֶּן-הָרָן בֶּן-בְּנוֹ וְאֵת שָׂרַי כַּלָּתוֹ אֵשֶׁת אַבְרָם בְּנוֹ וַיֵּֽצְאוּ אִתָּם מֵאוּר כַּשְׂדִּים לָלֶכֶת אַרְצָה כְּנַעַן וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד-חָרָן וַיֵּשְׁבוּ שָֽׁם׃
And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
וַיִּֽהְיוּ יְמֵי-תֶרַח חָמֵשׁ שָׁנִים וּמָאתַיִם שָׁנָה וַיָּמָת תֶּרַח בְּחָרָֽן׃
And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
וַיִּסְעוּ מִתָּרַח וַֽיַּחֲנוּ בְּמִתְקָֽה׃
And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶל-כָּל-הָעָם כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעֵבֶר הַנָּהָר יָֽשְׁבוּ אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם מֵֽעוֹלָם תֶּרַח אֲבִי אַבְרָהָם וַֽאֲבִי נָחוֹר וַיַּֽעַבְדוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִֽים׃
