The Lord Will

Genesis 11:26

β€œAnd Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.”

KJV

Read in Genesis 11

Meaning

Terah's three sons are named as Abram, Nahor, and Haran, marking the genealogy's arrival at the family central to the next narrative.

Read carefully

The wording does not necessarily prove all three sons were born in the same year or that Abram was biologically the eldest; biblical lists can order names for narrative prominence.

Reflection

The broad history of nations has now narrowed to one household from which Genesis will tell a new story of promise and calling.
