Terah's third son, Lot's father — dies 'during the lifetime of his father Terah, in the land of his birth,' in Ur (11:28), before the family's migration even begins. His premature death leaves Lot an orphan in Abram's care, and hands the caravan city the family later stops at (Haran) a name that, confusingly, doubles his own — the two are not shown to be connected.
