The Lord Will

Genesis 11:27

β€œNow these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.”

KJV

Read in Genesis 11

Meaning

The new family heading repeats Terah's sons and adds the crucial relationship that Haran is the father of Lot.

Read carefully

This section is not merely another list of names; it begins a narrative unit whose family relationships matter throughout the Abraham cycle.

Reflection

Genesis moves from public civilization and long genealogy into the intimate realities of one extended family.
