Terah, a descendant of Noah's son, Shem, had three sons--Abram, Nahor and Haran. Abram had a wife named Sarai. Haran had passed away in the Ur of the Chaldees and had a son named Lot. Terah, along with his grandson Lot and Abram and Sarai, journeyed to the land of Canaan and stopped at a place called Haran and dwelled there (Genesis 11:27-31).
The Lord spoke to Abram and said for him to leave Haran for another land to be shown by the Lord. The Lord said:
2) And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3) And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed (Genesis 12:1-3).
For your personal reference, turn to Genesis 11 and 12.
