The life of Abraham is recorded in Genesis 11:26-25:10 of the Hebrew Bible.


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)
