What does Genesis 11:27 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Genesis 11:27
Now these are the generations of Terah
Or the genealogy of his posterity, which is a very short one; for
it only gives an account of his three sons as before,
Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran:
and of three grand children, Lot, Milcah, and Iscah, the children
of Haran; and chiefly for the sake of Abram it is given, and
indeed the above genealogy of Shem, which ends with him; and of
whom and whose posterity the remaining part of this book of
Genesis treats:
and Haran begat Lot:
of whom we have some further account in (
Genesis 13:1-14:24 ) ( 19:1-38
) .
