Genesis 11:30 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 11:30

But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
] Aben Ezra observes, there are some that say that Abraham was impotent, and not Sarai barren; the very reverse of the Scriptures; but as he rightly adds, his son Ishmael and his sons by Keturah show the contrary, see ( Genesis 15:2 ) ( 16:1 ) .

Genesis 11:30 In-Context

28 While his father Terah was still alive, Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, his native land.
29 Both Abram and Nahor married. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife was Milcah, daughter of Haran. (Haran was the father of Milcah and Iscah.)
30 Sarai was not able to have children.
31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot (son of Haran), and his daughter-in-law Sarai, wife of his son Abram. They set out together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. When they came as far as Haran, they stayed there.
32 Terah lived 205 years and died in Haran.
