The ages of terah & Abraham

by Erni W
(Adelaide, S Australia)




In Genesis 11 v26 & 32 we are told that Terah:

1. had son/s at 70 years of age. (Is that when the first was born?)
2. Then that Terah died at 205 years.

If we look in the New Testament at Acts 7; Stephen says that:

3. Terah died before Abraham left Haran.

Genesis 12 v4 tells us

4. Abraham was 75 when he left Haran.

To me this means Abraham was the youngest son of Terah.So Lot & Abraham could have been similar ages (my thoughts).

Isaac would not have met or known Terah.

Could I have your thoughts on this please.
