Strong's Lexicon Terach: Terah Original Word: תֶּרַח Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning "to delay" or "to wander" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Terach in the Septuagint or the New Testament, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew Bible. Usage: Terach is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the father of Abraham, Nahor, and Haran. He is a significant patriarchal figure in the genealogies of Genesis, representing a transitional link between the post-Flood generations and the patriarchs of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: Terach lived during a time when polytheism was prevalent in Mesopotamia. According to Jewish tradition and some interpretations of the biblical text, Terach was an idol maker, which highlights the contrast between his background and the monotheistic faith of his son Abraham. Terach's journey from Ur of the Chaldeans to Haran marks a significant movement in the narrative of the Hebrew Bible, setting the stage for Abraham's call by God to go to Canaan.
