Scripture Post #1,435: *LOT'S FATHER DIES*

Genesis 11:

27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.

28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.

In the Book of Genesis, you'll find Lot abiding with Abram, or Abraham. Lot was Abram's nephew. Lot's father, Abram's brother, died and Abram stepped up to help. Lot wasn't just a random family member who wanted to hang with his kool uncle. Lot had a deficit, and Abram, who didn't have any children at the time, took Lot under his wing. This happens even today. Families take other family members into their homes when tragedy strikes. It's just family being family.
