Genesis 11:27

This is the story of Terah's family. Terah had 3 sons named Abram, Nahor and Haran. Haran, Terah's son, was born in a place called Ur, in a country called Kaldea. And so the people that lived in that country were called Kaldeans. Haran had a son named Lot and 2 daughters named Milcah and Iscah. Terah was still alive when Haran died. He died in the same country that he was born in. Nahor married Milcah and Abram married Sarai.
