Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Verse Takeaways
1
First in Honor, Not in Birth
Although Abram is listed first, commentators explain he was likely not the firstborn. The verse states Terah was 70 when he began having sons, but calculations based on later verses suggest Abram was born when Terah was 130. Abram is named first due to his immense importance in salvation history, not his birth order.
