Terah

Abraham's father who started the journey to Canaan but stopped halfway

About

Father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. He packed up his family and left Ur of the Chaldeans headed for Canaan but settled in Haran instead and died there at 205. He got halfway to where God wanted his family, and it took the next generation to finish the trip.

Terah is introduced here as the man who initiated the journey to Canaan — but his story ends in Haran, making him a tragic figure who started the right journey and stopped short of its completion.
