     snorting. (1.) The father of Terah, who was the father of
     Abraham (Gen. 11:22-25; Luke 3:34).
     
       (2.) A son of Terah, and elder brother of Abraham (Gen. 11:26,
     27; Josh. 24:2, R.V.). He married Milcah, the daughter of his


     brother Haran, and remained in the land of his nativity on the
     east of the river Euphrates at Haran (Gen. 11:27-32). A
     correspondence was maintained between the family of Abraham in
     Canaan and the relatives in the old ancestral home at Haran till
     the time of Jacob. When Jacob fled from Haran all intercourse
     between the two branches of the family came to an end (Gen.
     31:55). His grand-daughter Rebekah became Isaac's wife (24:67).
