And after he became the father of Terah
The phrase "became the father of Terah" marks a significant point in the genealogical record of Genesis. The Hebrew root for "became the father" is "yalad," which means to bring forth or to bear. This verb is often used in genealogies to denote the continuation of a family line, emphasizing the importance of lineage in the biblical narrative. Terah is a pivotal figure as he is the father of Abram (later Abraham), who is central to God's covenantal promises. This highlights the divine orchestration in the unfolding of God's plan for humanity, as Terah's lineage leads directly to the patriarch of the Israelite nation.

Nahor lived 119 years
The mention of Nahor living "119 years" reflects the longevity of life during the patriarchal period, a common theme in early Genesis. The Hebrew word for "lived" is "chayah," which implies not just existence but a life filled with purpose and activity. The specific number of years, 119, while not as long as some of his ancestors, still signifies a full life by ancient standards. This longevity underscores the continuity and stability of the family line, which is crucial for the fulfillment of God's promises through successive generations.

and had other sons and daughters
The phrase "had other sons and daughters" indicates that Nahor's family was larger than just Terah. The Hebrew word for "sons" is "ben," and for "daughters" is "bat," both of which are frequently used in the Old Testament to denote offspring. This detail, though brief, suggests the expansion and growth of Nahor's family, which would have been seen as a blessing and a sign of God's favor. In the broader biblical context, the mention of additional children highlights the theme of fruitfulness and multiplication, which is a recurring motif from the creation narrative onward. It also serves to remind readers of the interconnectedness of families and tribes in the unfolding account of God's people.
