27 Estas são as gerações de Terá: Terá gerou a Abrão, e a Naor, e a Harã; e Harã gerou a Ló.

28 E morreu Harã antes que seu pai Terá na terra de seu nascimento, em Ur dos caldeus.

29 E tomaram Abrão e Naor para si mulheres: o nome da mulher de Abrão foi Sarai, e o nome da mulher de Naor, Milca, filha de Harã, pai de Milca e de Iscá.
