Genesis 11:29
“And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 11Meaning
The verse names the wives of Abram and Nahor and identifies Milcah within Haran's family, clarifying the clan's internal relationships.
Read carefully
The text identifies Milcah's parentage explicitly but does not identify Sarai's parentage here; later Genesis material must be considered separately.
Reflection
The narrative begins to focus not only on ancestral lines but on marriages and relationships that will shape the future of the family.
