The Lord Will

Genesis 11:32

β€œAnd the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.”

KJV

Read in Genesis 11

Meaning

The chapter ends with Terah's death in Haran at the age of two hundred five, concluding the family transition from Ur.

Read carefully

How Terah's age relates chronologically to Abram's departure involves comparison with Genesis 11:26, Genesis 12:4, and later biblical references; this verse should not be isolated from them.

Reflection

One generation closes in Haran just before Genesis opens a new stage centered on Abram's response to God's call.
