Nahor
Nahor (
Heb. נָחֹור) is the name of two persons in
Torah who were both descended from
Arpachshad: (1.) The son of
Serug and father of
Terah, who was the father of
Abraham. According to
Jubilees, his mother was Milcah daughter of Kaber, and he married 'Iyoska, daughter of Nesteg of the kin of
Ur Kasdim (the son of Arpachshad for whom
Ur was named). He was 29 when his oldest son was born and lived to the age of 148.

About
Nahor
(snorting), the name of two persons in the family of Abraham.
→ His grandfather; the son of Serug and father of Terah. (Genesis 11:22-25) (B.C. 2174.)
→ Grandson of the preceding son of Terah and brother of Abraham and Haran. (Genesis 11:26,27) (B.C. 2000.) The order of the ages of the family of Terah is not improbably inverted in the narrative; in which case Nahor instead of being younger than Abraham, was really older. He married Milcah, the daughter of his brother Haran; and when Abraham and Lot migrated to Canaan, Nahor remained behind in the land of his birth, on the eastern side of the Euphrates.

About
Nahor
snorting. (1.) The father of Terah, who was the father of Abraham (Gen. 11:22-25; Luke 3:34). (2.) A son of Terah, and elder brother of Abraham (Gen. 11:26, 27; Josh. 24:2, R.V.). He married Milcah, the daughter of his brother Haran, and remained in the land of his nativity on the east of the river Euphrates at Haran (Gen. 11:27-32). A correspondence was maintained between the family of Abraham in Canaan and the relatives in the old ancestral home at Haran till the time of Jacob. When Jacob fled from Haran all intercourse between the two branches of the family came to an end (Gen. 31:55). His grand-daughter Rebekah became Isaac's wife (24:67).
