Genesis 11:31

29 Then Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram’s wife was ^aSarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife, ^bMilcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah.

30 But^a Sarai was barren; she had no child.

31 And Terah ^atook his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and they went out with them from ^bUr of the Chaldeans to go to ^cthe land of Canaan; and they came to Haran and dwelt there.

32 So the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Haran.
