Nahor

Also known as: Nahor (son of Terah) · Family: Abrahamic family · Role: brother of Abraham · First appears: Genesis 11

In Genesis 11, Terah fathered Nahor, Abraham, and Haran, making them brothers. Nahor married Milcah, while Abraham married Sarai.

After these things, in Genesis 22, Nahor’s household expanded through eight children born to Milcah—Huz, Buz, Kemuel, Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel—and four born to his concubine Reumah: Tebah, Gaham, Thahash, and Maachah. Bethuel became the father of Rebekah, who is identified in Genesis 24 as Nahor’s granddaughter, while Genesis 29 names Laban as Nahor’s son.
