1. Abraham's grandfather.
2. Abraham's brother. (See ABRAHAM.) Nahor was his elder brother; married Milcah his niece, Haran's daughter, who bore eight sons (Gen_11:26-29; Gen_22:20-24). His concubine Reumah bore Zebah and Maachah (whose descendants David came in contact with: 1Ch_18:8; 1Ch_19:6), Gaham and Thahash. Bethuel his son was Rebekah's father.
