Commentary on Genesis 11:27

Theological / Devotional

Terah. Up to this point Moses has narrated the history of all mankind. Henceforth the inspired record concerns itself almost exclusively with the history of but one family, the chosen people of God. Throughout the remainder of the OT attention is generally given to other nations only as they come in contact with God’s people.

Haran begat Lot. Lot, “the concealed one.” Lot is introduced because of the role he is to play as Abram’s companion in the land of Canaan and as ancestor of the Moabites and Ammonites.
