	Terah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Terah was the father of Abraham mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.
		Terah moved with his family from his native mountains in the north to the plains of Mesopotamia, after Abraham had been told to do so by God.
		Terah afterwards migrated with Abraham (probably his youngest son) and Lot (his grandson), together with their families, from Ur, intending to go with them to Canaan; however he ended his voyage in Harran, where he spent the remainder of his days, and died at the age of two hundred and five years (Genesis 11:24-32).

	Abiding Life ~ Online Writings: The Tragedy Of Terah
		Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran.
		We see that Terah was Abraham's father (whose name was Abram at that time); and that Abram had two brothers whose names were Nahor and Haran.
		I believe that Terah is a type and shadow of all of those that down through the ages began well...but settled for something less and ended in spiritual death.

	The Book of Jasher Uncloaked!
		Terah managed to save Abram by substituting the child of one of his servants instead, and then hid Abram, his mother and nurse, in a cave for ten years (Jasher 8:33-36).
		Nimrod, all his princes, and Terah were present, when Abram witnessed before them, urging the king to repent of his follies and wickedness, his idolatries, and to serve the "God of the whole universe, who created thee, and in whose power it is to kill and keep alive" (Jasher 11:54-55).
		Terah came to visit his son, after he had been with Noah for a month, at which time Abram encouraged his father to come with him to Canaan, so that they would both be delivered from the hand of Nimrod (v.65).

	ACTS 7:4 - Abraham, Terah not the father!
		It is commonly held that Terah, the immediate father of Abraham, is the father referred to in Acts.
		Genesis 11:32 advises Terah died at the age of 205 years and Genesis 12:4 is commonly translated to indicate Abraham was 75 years old when he left Haran (his actual age was 70 years, refer prior page).
		The indication is that this news came as a result of a messenger being sent from Haran to advise Abraham of the demise of his father Terah.

	Biblical Personalities: Terah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Perhaps the paucity of Biblical text on Terah compared to the verses and chapters devoted to Abraham’s career is viewed as a pejorative.
		Terah seems to be as wooden, as incapable of response, as his statues of worship.
		That Terah ultimately recognizes Abraham’s gifts of Divinity and bows finally to the one God of Israel is to his lasting, and in the eyes of the Midrash, eternal credit.

		Abram (Djehuty), the eldest son of Terah (Tao I) was due to inherit the superior kingdom in Babylon.
		In 1 Chronicles 8:29-31, Terah is named as Jeiel, which has the symbolic meaning "carried away by the Lord." According to the Genesis account, Terah was "carried away by the Lord" from Ur to the city of Haran in NW Mesopotamia.

		Stephen, however, states (Acts 7:4) that Terah was dead when Abraham left Haran, an impression that is easily gained from Gen. 11 through 12 if the dates are not computed.
