Context — Terah’s Descendants
29And 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.
30But Sarai was barren; she had no children.
31And Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai the wife of Abram, and they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans for the land of Canaan. But when they arrived in Haran, they settled there.
32Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Haran.Cross References

Genesis 11:31 Summary
This verse tells us about Terah, Abram's father, who decided to move his family from Ur of the Chaldeans to the land of Canaan. However, they stopped and settled in a city called Haran instead of continuing on to Canaan. This event is significant because it sets the stage for God's call to Abram, which will change the course of his life and the lives of his descendants, as seen in Genesis 12:1-3. Just like Abram, we can trust God's plan for our lives, even when the path ahead is unclear, and remember that He is always working to bless us and those around us, as promised in Jeremiah 29:11.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Terah decide to move his family from Ur of the Chaldeans to the land of Canaan?
The Bible does not give a direct reason for Terah's decision, but it may be related to God's call to Abram, as seen in Genesis 12:1-3, which occurs after they settle in Haran.
Who is Lot and why is he included in Terah's journey?
Lot is the son of Haran, who is Terah's son, making him Abram's nephew, as mentioned in Genesis 11:27-31, and he is included in the journey likely because he is part of the family and Terah's household.
What is the significance of Haran in this verse?
Haran is a city where Terah and his family settle, and it is also the name of Terah's son, who is Lot's father, as mentioned in Genesis 11:27-28, indicating a possible family connection to the area.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the story of Abram?
This verse sets the stage for God's call to Abram in Genesis 12:1-3, which will lead to the formation of the Israelites and is a crucial part of the biblical narrative, highlighting God's plan to bless all nations through Abram's descendants, as seen in Genesis 12:3.
Reflection Questions
- What are some times in your life when you felt called to move or change direction, and how did you respond to those feelings?
- How does the idea of settling in a place, like Haran, instead of continuing on to the intended destination, relate to your own spiritual journey?
- What role do family and relationships play in your decisions and journey, just like they did for Terah and Abram?
- In what ways can you trust God's plan for your life, even when the path ahead is unclear, just like Abram's journey to Canaan?

And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 11:31
See . Being informed by his son of the command of God, Terah did not despise it, because it came to him by the hands of his inferior, but cheerfully obeyeth it; and therefore he is so honourably mentioned as the head and governor of the action. Terah and Abram went with Lot and Sarai, as their heads and guides. Haran is called Charran, , and by the Romans Carrae, a place in in Mesopotamia strictly so called, in the way to Canaan, and near to it, well known by Crassus’ defeat there: see 28:10 29:4. Dwelt there; or, rested or abode, being detained there for a season; peradventure by Terah’ s disease, which begun there, for tells us of his death.
Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 11:31
Genesis 11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’ s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’ s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.Ver. 31. And Terah took, &c.] Being admonished of the Divine oracle, by his son Abram, he rebuked him not, neither charged him, upon his blessing, to abide in his native country, as many a father would have done (for what was he wiser and better than his forefathers?) but abandoned his idols, and went as far as his old legs could carry him toward the country that God should show them. For as yet they "went forth, not knowing whither they went". But having God by the hand, they knew they could not go amiss. This was a blessed blind obedience, not to dispute, but to despatch; to wink, and put themselves into God’ s hand, to be led about at his pleasure, to follow him without sciscitation. Instar caeci oculos clausit, vocantemque Deum secutus est. - Bucholcer.
Ellicott's Commentary on Genesis 11:31
(31) They went forth with them.—This may possibly mean that they went forth in one body; but the phrase is strange, and the Samaritan, followed by the LXX. and Vulg.,by a slight transposition of the letters reads, “And he (Terah) brought them forth.” Haran.—The Charran of Act 7:4, that is, Carrhae in North-west Mesopotamia, about twenty geographical miles south-east of Edessa. The name must not be confounded with that of Haran, the father of Lot, as really it is in the Heb. Kharan, and was so called in Accadian times, in which language the word means “road,” being, according to Mr. Sayce, the key of the highway from the east to the west. It was both a very early and a very late outpost of Chaldean power. (Tomkins’ Studies on Times of Abraham, 55ff.) Terah’s migration was partly perhaps a movement of a tribe of the Semites northwards (see Note on Genesis 11:28), made restless by the Elamites, who about this time overran Western Asia; but chiefly it had a religious motive: for Ur was the especial seat of the worship of the moon-god, Sin; and though Terah had not attained to the purity of Abraham’s faith, yet neither was he altogether an idolater. But why did they intend “to go into the land of Canaan?” As Abram subsequently continued this migration in simple dependance upon God’s guidance (Genesis 12:1), it was probably the Divine rather than the human purpose that is here expressed. Still, there may have been some tradition in the family, or knowledge handed down from patriarchal times, which made them look upon Canaan as their land of hope; and the expedition of Amraphel, king of Shinar, and others against the south of Palestine, recorded in Genesis 14:1-16, and confirmed by our large present knowledge of these popular movements, shows that we must not assume that, far removed from one another as were Babylonia and Canaan, therefore they were lands mutually unknown. We gather also that the Divine summons came to Abram in Ur (see «Genesis 15:7; Nehemiah 9:7; Acts 7:2), but we learn in Genesis 12:1 that his final destination was not then definitely told him.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Genesis 11:31
Verse 31. They went forth - front Ur of the Chaldees] Chaldea is sometimes understood as comprising the whole of Babylonia; at other times, that province towards Arabia Deserta, called in Scripture The land of the Chaldeans. The capital of this place was Babylon, called in Scripture The beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, Isaiah 13:19. Ur appears to have been a city of some considerable consequence at that time in Chaldea; but where situated is not well known. It probably had its name Ur אור, which signifies fire, from the worship practised there. The learned are almost unanimously of opinion that the ancient inhabitants of this region were ignicolists or worshippers of fire, and in that place this sort of worship probably originated; and in honour of this element, the symbol of the Supreme Being, the whole country, or a particular city in it, might have had the name Ur. Bochart has observed that there is a place called Ouri, south of the Euphrates, in the way from Nisibis to the river Tigris. The Chaldees mentioned here had not this name in the time of which Moses speaks, but they were called so in the time in which Moses wrote. Chesed was the son of Nahor, the son of Terah, Genesis 22:22. From Chesed descended the Chasdim, whose language was the same as that of the Amorites, Daniel 1:4; Daniel 2:4.
These Chasdim, whence the χαλδαιοι, Chaldeans, of the Septuagint, Vulgate, and all later versions, afterwards settled on the south of the Euphrates. Those who dwelt in Ur were either priests or astronomers, Daniel 2:10, and also idolaters, Joshua 24:2-3; Joshua 24:14-15. And because they were much addicted to astronomy, and probably to judicial astrology, hence all astrologers were, in process of time, called Chaldeans, Daniel 2:2-5. The building of Babel, the confusion of tongues, and the first call of Abram, are three remarkable particulars in this chapter; and these led to the accomplishment of three grand and important designs: 1. The peopling of the whole earth; 2. The preservation of the true religion by the means of one family; and 3. The preservation of the line uncorrupted by which the Messiah should come. When God makes a discovery of himself by a particular revelation, it must begin in some particular time, and be given to some particular person, and in some particular place. Where, when, and to whom, are comparatively matters of small importance. It is God's gift; and his own wisdom must determine the time, the person, and the place.
But if this be the case, have not others cause to complain because not thus favoured? Not at all, unless the favouring of the one for a time should necessarily cut off the others for ever. But this is not the case. Abram was first favoured; that time, that country, and that person were chosen by infinite wisdom, for there and then God chose to commence these mighty operations of Divine goodness.
Cambridge Bible on Genesis 11:31
31, 32. The Migration of Terah to Haran, and his Death. (P.) 31. they went forth with them] The words, as they stand, are meaningless. The Syriac reads “and he went forth with them.” Better as LXX, Sam. and Lat. “and he brought them forth,” which only requires the omission of one letter. Another conjectural emendation is “and they went forth with him.” No reason for the migration is here assigned. Later tradition attributed it to religious causes. Cf. Jdt 5:6-9, “This people are descended of the Chaldeans. And they departed from the way of their parents, and worshipped the God of heaven, the God whom they knew: and they cast them out from the face of their gods, and they fled into Mesopotamia, and sojourned there many days. And their God commanded them to depart from the place where they sojourned.” Ur of the Chaldees] Heb.
Ur Kasdim. “Ur” is the Uru of the inscriptions denoting a town and region. The town is generally believed to have been discovered in the mounds of the modern El-Muḳ ?ayyar in S. Babylonia, on the right bank of the Euphrates, more than 100 miles S. E. of Babylon. It was the principal seat of the worship of the moon-god, Sin, in S. Babylonia. Its position enhanced its importance in early times. It stood on the main route between Arabia and Syria; and the river Euphrates in those days must have flowed close to its walls. “Kasdim” = “of the Chaldees,” has been added (evidently for purposes of distinction from other similar names), here and in Genesis 11:28, Genesis 15:7; Nehemiah 9:7; Jdt 5:6. The Chaldeans, who dwelt in the south of Babylonia, became predominant in the 7th century b.c.; but their name does not appear in the inscriptions until long after the time of Abram. ’Or being the Hebrew word for “light,” the rendering “in the fire of the Chaldees” (Jerome, Quaest., ad loc., in igne Chaldaeorum) gave rise to fantastic legends, which related how Haran perished in, and how Abram was ordered by Nimrod to be cast into, the furnace. Haran] LXX Χαῤῥάν, Gr. Κάῤῥαι, Lat.
Carrhae, where Crassus fell in battle with the Parthians. The name of a town distant 550 miles N., or N.W. from Ur; and one of the principal towns in Mesopotamia, situate on the left bank of the river Belikh, 70 miles N. from its confluence with the Euphrates on its eastern bank. The name is spelt differently from the Haran of Gen 11:26-27. It would be better to pronounce it “Ḥ ?arran,” like the Assyrian Ḥ ?arranu, meaning “a road.” The name implies its strategical importance as the converging point of the commercial routes from Babylon in the south, Nineveh in the east, and Damascus in the west.Ḥ ?arran, like Ur, was a centre of the worship of the moon-god, Sin. The two traditions, which derive Abram from Ur and from Haran, unite in connecting his home with a shrine of the moon-god, the one in Babylonia, the other in Mesopotamia.
Whedon's Commentary on Genesis 11:31
31. Terah took — Terah, the patriarch of the tribe, here appears as the leader of this movement.
