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

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.

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