Birth of Abram
Abram Journeying into the Land of Canaan (engraving by Gustave Doré
from the 1865 La Sainte Bible)
Terah, the tenth in descent from Noah, fathered Abram, Nahor and
Haran, and Haran fathered Lot. Haran died in his native Ur of the
Chaldees, and Abram married Sarai, who was barren. Terah, with
Abram, Sarai and Lot, then departed for Canaan, but settled in a
place named Haran, where Terah died at the age of 205. (Genesis
11:27-11:32)
