²⁷ Here is the story of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot. ²⁸ Haran died in Ur in Babylonia. That was the land where he had been born. Haran died while his father Terah was still alive. ²⁹ Abram and Nahor both got married. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai. The name of Nahor's wife was Milcah. She was the daughter of Haran. Haran was the father of Milcah and Iscah. ³⁰ But Sarai wasn't able to have children. ³¹ Terah started out from Ur in Babylonia. He took his son Abram with him. He also took his grandson Lot. Lot was the son of Haran. And Terah took his daughter-in-law Sarai. She was the wife of his son Abram. All of them left together to go to Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled down. ³² Terah lived for 205 years. He died in Haran.
