Notes & controversies
- says Terah was 70 when he fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran, but (Terah dies at 205), (Abram leaves Haran at 75), and (Abram leaves after his father's death) together require Terah to have been about 130 at Abram's birth. The standard resolution is that gives the age at which Terah began fathering sons, with Abram listed first for prominence rather than birth order. The dates here follow that reading.
