This is the story of Terah’s family. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran was the father of Lot.
Terah took his family and left Ur of Babylonia. [70] They planned to travel to Canaan. Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot (Haran’s son), and his daughter-in-law Sarai (Abram’s wife). They traveled to the city of Haran and decided to stay there.
During this time, Lot was also traveling with Abram. Lot had many animals and tents.
This was after Abram lived ten years in the land of Canaan. And Sarai gave Hagar to her husband Abram. (Hagar was her servant from Egypt.)
So Abraham left the country of Chaldea. {\cf2\super [122]} He went to live in Haran. After Abraham’s father died, God sent him to this place here, where you live now.
God called Abraham to travel to another place that God promised to give Abraham. Abraham did not know where that other place was. But Abraham obeyed God and started traveling, because Abraham had faith.
Abraham waited patiently for this to happen. And later Abraham received what God promised.
