Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Strong's Greek entry is G2291, which is the Greek transliteration of Terach's name, Θάρα (Thara), found in the genealogical records of the New Testament, specifically in Luke 3:34, where Terach is listed in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. This connection underscores the continuity of the biblical narrative from the Old Testament to the New Testament, highlighting Terach's role in the ancestral line leading to the Messiah. Usage: Terach is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as the name of a significant ancestral figure. Context: Terach is a prominent figure in the genealogical records of the Hebrew Bible, known primarily as the father of Abram (later Abraham), Nahor, and Haran. He is a descendant of Shem, the son of Noah, and is listed in the genealogies found in Genesis. Terach's story is primarily recounted in Genesis 11:24-32, where it is noted that he fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran, and that he lived in Ur of the Chaldeans. Following the death of Haran, Terach took Abram, his grandson Lot (Haran's son), and his daughter-in-law Sarai (Abram's wife) and set out for the land of Canaan. However, they settled in Haran, where Terach eventually died at the age of 205 years. His journey and settlement in Haran are significant as they set the stage for Abram's later call by God to continue to Canaan, which becomes a pivotal moment in the biblical narrative. Terach's life and actions are seen as part of the divine plan leading to the establishment of the Israelite nation through Abram.
