NASB (UPDATED) TEXT: Gen 11:24-25

24Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and became the father of Terah; 25and Nahor lived one hundred and nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and he had other sons and daughters.

Gen 11:24 Terah Terah possibly means tarrying, delaying, or migrating (BDB 1076). From Jos 24:2 it is obvious that he and his family were polytheists. The names of his family suggest primarily that they worshiped the moon goddess Zin. She was worshiped in Ur, Tema, and Haran. However, Gen 31:53 implies that he knew of YHWH (see Special Topic: Moon Worship )
