v.27 "Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot"
.Unlike in the case of Noah here the Spirit is giving more emphasis to the sons and wives of Abraham and his two brothers"By setting Jacob in his generation in context of the house of Laban the Spirit wants us know the world framed by the word of God was i moving with Jacob while the house of Laban represented the ungodly nations. Of course Laban had family gods and the whole paraphrenalia of the imposter churches. We know next to nothing of the wive of Noah or of the wives of the sons of Noah. In the ensuing narrative Sarah holds her own in the world of patriarchs. Her age is given as with Abraham. (Gen,23.1)
Another peculiar feature is to distinguish the death of the heirs of promise. Their death is made distinct by this expression they were gathered unto his people."and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people."(49.33) In the case of Abraham,"Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people."(25.8) They gave up the Chost even as Christ did."Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost."*Mt.27.50) God is the God of the living so where are they? "and to the spirits of just men made perfect,/ And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant."(Heb.12.23-24) Life in faith is to live in the presence of God whether alive or dead according to the flesh.
32" And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran."
From the historical context the builders of the tower were as one in creating wealth and we shall across consequences of their greed. There were series of famines that drove mass migrations and Abraham's father died during one such.
