Eber lived thirty-four years, and became the father of Peleg. Eber lived four
hundred thirty years after he became the father of Peleg, and became the father of sons
and daughters.
Peleg lived thirty years, and became the father of Reu. Peleg lived two hundred
nine years after he became the father of Reu, and became the father of sons and
daughters.
Reu lived thirty-two years, and became the father of Serug. Reu lived two
hundred seven years after he became the father of Serug, and became the father of sons
and daughters.
Serug lived thirty years, and became the father of Nokor. Serug lived two hundred
years after he became the father of Nokor, and became the father of sons and daughters.
Nokor lived twenty-nine years, and became the father of Terah. Nokor lived one
hundred nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and became the father of
sons and daughters.
Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram [exalted father],
Nokor, and Haran.

Now this is the history of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of
Abram, Nokor, and Haran. Haran became the father of Lot. Haran died before his father

Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Abram and Nokor took wives. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the
name of Nokor’s wife, Milkah, the daughter of Haran who was also the father of Iskah.
Sarai was barren. She had no child. Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his
son’s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife. They went from Ur of
the Chaldees, to go into the land of Kayinan. They came to Haran and lived there. The
days of Terah were two hundred five years. Terah died in Haran.
Now Yahweh said to Abram, “Get out of your country, and from your relatives,
and from your father’s house, to the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great
nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing. I will bless
those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. All of the families of the
earth will be blessed in you.”
So Abram went, as Yahweh had spoken to him. Lot went with him. Abram was
seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran. Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot
his brother’s son, all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls whom they
had gotten in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Kayinan. Into the land of
Kayinan they came. Abram passed through the land to the place of Shekem, to the oak
of Moreh. The Kayinanite was then in the land.
Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your seed.”
He built an altar there to Yahweh, who appeared to him. He left from there to the
mountain on the east of Bethel [house of El], and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the
west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on the name of
Yahweh. Abram traveled, going on still toward the South.
