His name appears in <a href="/genesis/11-20.htm">Genesis 11:20-23</a>, where it is noted that he lived 230 years. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to connect the post-flood world to the patriarchs, emphasizing the continuity of God's plan through specific chosen individuals. Serug's inclusion highlights the preservation of the line through which God would eventually bring forth the nation of Israel and, ultimately, the Messiah. The name Serug may be linked to a region in Mesopotamia, suggesting a connection to the broader cultural and geographical context of the ancient Near East.<p><b>Nahor</b><br>Nahor is the son of Serug and the grandfather of Abraham. His name is also found in <a href="/genesis/11-22.htm">Genesis 11:22-25</a>. Nahor's life and family are significant in the biblical narrative as they represent the immediate ancestry of Abraham, the father of the Israelite nation. The name Nahor is associated with a city in Mesopotamia, which is mentioned in <a href="/genesis/24-10.htm">Genesis 24:10</a> as the city of Nahor, indicating the family's roots in that region. This connection underscores the movement of Abraham's family from Mesopotamia to Canaan, a journey that is central to the unfolding of God's covenant promises. Nahor's descendants, including his son Terah, play a crucial role in the transition from the pre-Abrahamic world to the establishment of the covenant people.<p><b>Terah</b><br>Terah is the father of Abraham, Nahor, and Haran, and his name appears in <a href="/genesis/11-24.htm">Genesis 11:24-32</a>. Terah's life marks a pivotal moment in biblical history, as he is the patriarch who begins the family's migration from Ur of the Chaldeans to Haran, and eventually towards Canaan. This move sets the stage for God's call to Abraham and the establishment of the covenant. Terah's journey reflects the broader theme of divine guidance and providence, as God orchestrates the movement of people and nations to fulfill His purposes. Terah's role as the father of Abraham is crucial, as it links the genealogical record to the promises made to Abraham, which include the blessing of all nations through his seed, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/serug.htm">Serug</a></b><br>Serug is a descendant of Shem, the son of Noah.
