The days of Terah were TWO HUNDRED AND FIVE YEARS; and Terah died in Haran. (GEN 11:32) Now Abram was SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS old when he departed from Haran. (GEN 12:4) [Terah was 205 when he died in Haran and Abram was 75 left Haran when Terah died (Acts 7:4). This means Terah was 130 when Abram was born so either Nahor or Haran was born when Terah was 70.]
