NAHOR.1. Father of Terah and grandfather of Abra ham (Gen_11:22-25, 1Ch_1:26, Luk_3:34). 2. Grandson of the preceding and brother of Abraham and Haran (Gen_11:25-27 cf. Jos_24:2). He is said to have married Milcah, daughte of Haran (Gen_11:29), and twelve sohs are enumerated eight by Milcah and four by Reumah his concubim (Gen_22:20-24). In Gen_24:10 we read of the city of Nahor i.e. Haran, where Rehekah was found. Laban, in making a covenant with Jacob, swears by the God (of Abraham and the God of Nahor (Gen_31:53). The sons ascribed to Nahor (Buz, Uz, Aram, etc.) are for the most part names of tribes. It has been questioner if Nahor is a historical character at all. Some think we have, instead, the name of a lost tribe once resident in the neighbourhood of Haran, from which the Aramæar tribes were descended. While Abraham appears as the common ancestor of the Israelites and Edomites, Nahor is represented as the father of the Aramæans.

Na'hor. (snorting). The name of two persons in the family of Abraham.
1. His grandfather; the son of Serug, and father of Terah. Gen_11:22-25. (B.C. 2174).
2. Grandson of Nahor, 1, son of Terah, and brother of Abraham and Haran. Gen_11:26-27. (B.C. 2000). The order of the ages of the family of Terah is not improbably inverted in the narrative; in which case, Nahor instead of being younger than Abraham, was really older. He married Milcah, the daughter of his brother, Haran; and when Abraham and Lot migrated to Canaan, Nahor remained behind in the land of his birth, on the eastern side of the Euphrates.

son of Terah, and brother of Abraham, Gen_11:26. Neither the year of his birth nor of his death is exactly known. Nahor married Milcah, the daughter of Haran, by whom he had several sons, namely, Huz, Buz, Kemuel, Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel. Nahor fixed his habitation at Haran, which is therefore called the city of Nahor, Gen_11:29; Gen_22:20-22; Gen_24:10.

Nahor, 1
Na?hor (snorting), or rather Nachor, as in Luk_3:34, son of Serug, and father of Terah, the father of Abraham (Gen_11:22-25).
Nahor, 2
Nahor, grandson of the preceding, is one of the sons of Terah, and brother of Abraham. Nahor espoused Milcah his niece, daughter of his eldest brother Haran (Gen_11:27-29). Nahor did not quit his native place, 'Ur of the Chaldees,' when the rest of the family removed to Haran (Gen_11:31); but it would appear that he went thither afterwards, as we eventually find his son Bethuel, and his grandson Laban, established there (Gen_27:43; Gen_29:5).

Nahor
(Heb. Nachor', נָחוֹר, snorting; Sept. and N.T. Ναχώρ: Josephus Ναχώρης; Vulg. Nachor: A.V. " Nachor," Jos_24:2; Luk_3:34), the name of two men.
1. Son of Serug, father of Terah, and grandfather of Abraham (Gen_11:22-25; Luk_3:34). He died at the age of 148 years. B.C. 2174.
2. Grandson of the preceding, being a son of Terah, and brother of Abraham and Haran (Gen_11:26; Jos_24:2). The order of the name of Terah is not improbably inverted in the narrative; in which case Nahor, instead of being younger than Abraham, was really older. B.C. ante 2163. He married Milcah, the daughter of his brother Haran; and when Abraham and Lot migrated to Canaan, Nahor remained behind in the land of his birth, on the eastern side of the Euphrates the boundary between the Old and the New World of that early age and gathered his family around him at the sepulchre of his father (Gen_11:27-32; comp. 2Sa_19:37). Coupling this with the statement of Jdt_5:8 and the universal tradition of the East, that Terah's departure from Ur was a relinquishment of false worship, an additional force is given to the mention of "the god of Nahor" (Gen_31:53) as distinct from the God of Abraham's descendants. Two generations later Nahor's family were certainly living at Haran (Gen_28:10; Gen_29:4). Like Jacob, and also like Ishmael, Nahor was the father of twelve sons; and further, as ill the case of Jacob, eight of them were the children of his wife, and four of a concubine, Reumah (Gen_22:21-24). Special care is taken in speaking of the legitimate branch to specify its descent from Milcah "the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor." It was to this pure and unsullied race that Abraham and Rebekah in turn had recourse for wives for their sons. But with Jacob's flight from Haran the intercourse ceased. The heap of stones which he and "Laban the Syrian" erected on Mount Gilead (Gen_31:46) may be said to have formed at once the tomb of their past connection and the barrier against its continuance. Even at that time a wide variation had taken place not only in their language (Gen_31:47), but, as it would seem, in the Object of their worship. The "God of Nahor" appears as a distinct divinity from the "God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac" (Gen_31:53). Doubtless this was one of the "other gods" which before the call of Abraham were worshipped by the family of Terah, whose images were in Rachel's possession during the conference on Gilead, and which had to be discarded before Jacob could go into the presence of the "God of Bethel" (Gen_35:2; comp. 31:13). Henceforward the line of distinction between the two families is most sharply drawn (as in the allusion of Jos_24:2), and the descendants of Nahor confine their communications to their own immediate kindred, or to the members of other non-Israelitish tribes, as in the case of Job the man of Uz, and his friends, Elihu the Buzite of the kindred of Ram, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite. Many centuries later David appears to have come into collision sometimes friendly, sometimes the reverse with one or two of the more remote Nahorite tribes. Tibhath, probably identical with Tebah and Maacah. are mentioned in the relation of his wars on the eastern frontier of Israel (1Ch_18:8; 1Ch_19:6); and the mother of Absalom either belonged to or was connected with the latter of the above nations.
No certain traces of the name of Nahor have been recognised in Mesopotamia. Ewald (Geschichte, 1:359) proposes Haditha, a town on the Euphrates just above Hit, and bearing the additional name of el-Naura; also another place, likewise called el-Na'ura, mentioned by some Arabian geographers as lying farther north; and Nachrein, which, however, seems to lie out of Mesopotamia to the east. Others have mentioned Naarda, or Nehardea, a town or district in the neighborhood of the above, celebrated as the site of a college of the Jews (Smith, Dict. of Geogr. s.v. Naarda).
