 Nahor
    snorting. (1.) The father of Terah, who was the father of
    Abraham (Gen. 11:22-25; Luke 3:34).
      (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).
