Subjects in this Topic:
TERAH.—The father of Abraham, Nahor, and Haran (Gen_11:24-32, 1Ch_1:25, Luk_3:34). Along with his three sons he is said to have migrated from Ur of the Chaldees to Haran, where he died. In Jos_24:2 it is said that he ‘served other gods’—a statement which gave rise to some fanciful Jewish haggâdôth about Terah as a maker of idols. 2. A station of the Israelites (Num_33:27-28).
