Story of Terah’s People:

Nahor II married the daughter of his brother Haran, Milcah, his niece.They were all born and raised in the capital of Ur.

He traveled to the land of Canaan with Abram as commanded by God. Terah, their father, also travelled with his kin west to their destination. They followed the Euphrates River, with their herds, to the Padan-Aram region. This was approximately halfway along the Fertile Crescent between Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean, in what is at the present called southeastern Turkey. Nahor and his people settled in Haran, till the time of Jacob.

When Jacob fled from Haran all association between the two branches of the family came to an end. His grand-daughter Rebekah became Isaac’s wife.
