Abraham's father, named once in the genealogy (3:34). Josephus gives him an actual date: 292 years after the flood, trying to pin Genesis's long lifespans to a real chronology, the same impulse behind Luke's own carefully unbroken chain.
Terah was Abraham's father, and Genesis records that he set out from Ur with Abraham, Abraham's wife Sarah, and his grandson Lot, intending to reach Canaan, but the family settled in Haran instead and Terah died there, leaving Abraham to complete the journey after God's call came to him directly.
