Chuàngshìjì 11:23 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 11:23

And Serug lived, after he begat Nahor, two hundred years,
&c.] The years of his life were two hundred and thirty:

and he begat sons and daughters;
nowhere else mentioned: he died, according to the above Jewish writer ^F15, in the one hundredth year of Abraham, and in his days, according to the eastern writers ^F16, idolatry began, and the kingdom of Damascus was set up ^F17; and Samirus, king of the Chaldeans, invented weights and measures, weaving silk, and the art of dying ^F19.
