Word Origin: Derived from the root נָחַר (nâchar), which means "to snort" or "to snore." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3493: Νάχωρ (Nachor) • This Greek entry corresponds to the Hebrew נָחוֹר and is used in the Septuagint and New Testament genealogies to refer to the same individuals named Nahor in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The name Nahor is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to two individuals: • Nahor, the son of Serug and grandfather of Abraham. • Nahor, the son of Terah and brother of Abraham. Context: Nahor is a significant name in the genealogical records of the Hebrew Bible. The first Nahor mentioned is the son of Serug, who is part of the ancestral line leading to Abraham. This Nahor is noted in the genealogies that trace the lineage from Shem to Abraham, highlighting the continuity of the covenantal promise through specific family lines (Genesis 11:22-25). The second Nahor is the son of Terah and brother of Abraham, making him an uncle to Isaac. This Nahor is mentioned in Genesis 11:26-29, where the family of Terah is introduced. He is also noted for his descendants, who play roles in the narratives concerning the patriarchs. Nahor's family settled in Haran, and his lineage is significant in the context of the patriarchal narratives, particularly in the story of Isaac's marriage to Rebekah, who is Nahor's granddaughter (Genesis 24:15). The name Nahor is emblematic of the familial and covenantal ties that are central to the narrative of the Hebrew Bible, emphasizing the importance of lineage and heritage in the unfolding of God's promises to the patriarchs.
