te.rach is chiefly the proper name of Abram's father, and twice names a campsite in Israel's wilderness itinerary.

The term most often identifies the man placed in Nahor's line and named as the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; the supplied passages also use it for a location where the traveling group camped and from which it departed.

2. A campsite on the travel route · rare

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the personal use as “Terah” in genealogical, family, travel, and death statements, and presents the itinerary use as the place from which the group camped or departed. These English presentations confirm the clauses rather than supply a separate definition.
