Quotes About Family

When Nahor was 29 years old, he became the father of Terah.

And after he had become the father of Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and had other sons and daughters.

When Terah was 70 years old, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

This is the account of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.

During his father Terahís lifetime, Haran died in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans.

And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. Abramís wife was named Sarai, and Nahorís wife was named Milcah; she was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah.

But Sarai was barren; she had no children.

And Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai the wife of Abram, and they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans for the land of Canaan. But when they arrived in Haran, they settled there.

Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Haran.

Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your fatherís household, and go to the land I will show you.

So Abram departed, as the LORD had directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.

And Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all the possessions and people they had acquired in Haran, and set out for the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,

Please say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake, and on account of you my life will be spared.”

Why did you say, ëShe is my sister,í so that I took her as my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!”

So Abram went up out of Egypt into the Negev—he and his wife and all his possessions—and Lot was with him.

Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.

And there was discord between the herdsmen of Abram and the herdsmen of Lot. At that time the Canaanites and the Perizzites were also living in the land.

So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no contention between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen. After all, we are brothers.

So Lot chose the whole plain of the Jordan for himself and set out toward the east. And Abram and Lot parted company.

They also carried off Abramís nephew Lot and his possessions, since Lot was living in Sodom.

And when Abram heard that his relative had been captured, he mobilized the 318 trained men born in his household, and they set out in pursuit as far as Dan.

He retrieved all the goods, as well as his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the rest of the people.

Now Abramís wife Sarai had borne him no children, but she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar.

So Sarai said to Abram, “Look now, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go to my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family by her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
