The days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran. (GEN 11:32) Terah died in Haran at the age of 205 in Haran. 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 (aged 75) left Haran when Terah died (Acts 7:4). This means Terah was 130 when Abram was born.
