The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 11:31
And Terah took —an act of pure human volition on the part of Terah (Kalisch); under the guidance of God's ordinary providence (Keil); but more probably, as Abram was called in Ur ( vide infra ) , prompted by a knowledge of his son's call, and a desire to participate in his son's inheritance (Lange)— Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. The Samaritan reads, "and Milcah his daughter-in-law, the wives of Abram and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 11:31
The migration of the Terachites. I. THE DEPARTURE OF THE EMIGRANTS . The attendant circumstances of this migration—the gathering of the clan, the mustering of the flocks, the farewells and benedictions exchanged with relatives and friends, the hopes and fears of the adventurous pilgrims—imagination may depict; the reasons which prompted it may be conjectured to have been— 1. The spirit of emigration, which since the dispersion at Babel had been abroad among the primitive... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 11:27-32
11:27-15:21 ABRAM’S ENTRY INTO THE PROMISED LANDAbram obeys God’s call (11:27-12:9)From the nations of the world God now chose one man through whom he would build a new nation, which, in turn, would be the means of bringing his blessing to the whole world (see 12:2-3). God’s chosen man, Abram (later called Abraham), lived originally in the idolatrous city of Ur in ancient Babylonia. Although others in his family worshipped idols (Joshua 24:2), Abram worshipped the one true God and obeyed him... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 11:10-31
The following ancestors of the Messiah are given: SHEM; ARPACHSHAD; SHELAH; EBER; PELEG, REU, SERUG; NAHOR; TERAH, and ABRAM (ABRAHAM). A check with the genealogy given by Luke (Luke 3:34-36) conforms exactly to this with the exception that Cainan is introduced between Shelah and Arpachshad, suggesting that the whole list may be abbreviated.Genesis 11:27 provides the additional information that Terah had two other sons besides Abraham, Nahor (named after his uncle) and Haran, the father of Lot.... read more

Genesis 11:31. They went forth from Ur—to go into Canaan—and came unto Haran— Terah, with his son Abram with Sarai, and his grandson Lot, leaving Nahor and his family behind, from what motive it doth not appear, probably from the call of God, Nehemiah 9:7, left Ur of the Chaldees, purposing to go into the land of Canaan; but the old man stopt short, and died in his two hundredth and fifth year at Haran, a city in the north-west parts of Mesopotamia, celebrated for the defeat of Crassus,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 11:29-30
Two weddings . I. THE TWO BRIDEGROOMS —Abram and Nahor. 1. Younger sons in Terah's family. 2. Eminent men in Ur of the Chaldees. 3. Favored saints in the Church of God. Marriage is honorable in all. II. THE TWO BRIDES —Sarai and Milcah. 1. Near relations of their husbands. Though permissible at that early stage of the world's history, the intermarriage of relatives so close as half-sister and niece is not now sanctioned by the law of God. 2. Attractive... read more
