Bible Person
Meaning: hoarse; dry; hot · Male · 7 cross references
Nahor is the son of Serug and father of Terah in the line leading to Abraham. He should be distinguished from the later Nahor who is Abraham's brother. First appears in Gen 11:22.1
AI summary: This Nahor matters because the cross references preserve an essential generational link in the ancestry that leads to Abraham. He does not appear in narrative action, yet his place in Genesis, Chronicles, Joshua's retrospective, and Luke shows how carefully the biblical tradition guards this line. His significance is therefore structural rather than dramatic. Taken together, the material presents this Nahor as an important patriarchal ancestor within the genealogy of the covenant family.1
