- "And Nahorª livedª° afterª he begatª°¹ Terahª an hundredª² and nineteenªª years,ª and begatª° sonsª and daughters.ª ... And the daysª of Terahª were¹ two hundredª² and fiveª years:ª and Terahª diedª° in Haran.ª" {Gen 11:25-32} + "Now the LORDª had saidª° unto¹ Abram,ª Get thee out²°¹ of thy country,ª¹ and from thy kindred,ª¹ and from thy father's² house,ª¹¹ unto¹ a landª that¹ I will shewª° thee:" {Gen 12:1} + "And the LORDª appearedª° unto¹ Abram,ª and said,ª° Unto thy seedª will I giveª°¹ thisª land:ª and there¹ buildedª° he an altarª unto the LORD,ª who appearedª° unto¹ him." {Gen 12:7} + "And it came to pass¹ afterª these¹ things,ª that it was toldª° Abraham,ª saying,ª° Behold,¹ Milcah,ª she¹ hath also¹ bornª° childrenª unto thy brotherª Nahor;ª ... And Bethuelª begatª°¹ Rebekah:ª these¹ eightª Milcahª did bearª° to Nahor,ª Abraham'sª brother.ª" {Gen 22:20-23} + "Arise,ª° go²°¹ to Padanaram,ª to the houseª of Bethuelª thy mother'sª father;ª and takeª° thee a wifeª from thence¹¹ of the daughtersª¹ of Labanª thy mother'sª brother.ª" {Gen 28:2}; There does not appear in all this concern the least taint of worldly policy, or any of those motives which usually govern men in the settlement of their children. No mention is made of riches, or honours, or natural accomplishments, but merely of what related to God. - Fuller.
