Nahor, son of Terah

Common card · No. 381288

In the account of Terah's family mentioned in the Book of Genesis (Genesis 11:26–32), Nahor (Hebrew: נָחוֹר – Nāḥōr), also spelled Nachor, is listed as the son of Terah, amongst two other brothers, Abram and Haran (v.26,27). His grandfather was Nahor I, son of Serug. Nahor married the daughter of his brother Haran, Milcah, his niece (v.29). They may all have been born and raised in the city of Ur: the biblical account states that "Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans" (Genesis 11:28).
