  snorting.  (1.)  The  father  of  Terah,  who  was  the  father  of

  (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).
