Gen 11:27-32 The genealogical data in Gen 11:27-32 prepare the way for the history of the patriarchs. The heading, “These are the generations of Terah,” belongs not merely to Gen 11:27-32, but to the whole of the following account of Abram, since it corresponds to “the generations” of Ishmael and of Isaac in Gen 25:12 and Gen 25:19.
