Genesis 11:26

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

25 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.

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

28 During his father Terah’s lifetime, Haran died in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
