- TENTH DEAL i.e., the tenth part of an ephah (as in the R.V.), equal to an
omer or six pints. The recovered leper, to complete his purification, was
required to bring a trespass, a sin, and a burnt offering, and to present a
meal offering, a tenth deal or an omer of flour for each, with oil to make it
into bread or cakes (Leviticus 14:10, 21; comp. Exodus 16:36; 29:40). - TERAH the wanderer; loiterer, for some unknown reason emigrated with
his family from his native mountains in the north to the plains of
Mesopotamia. He had three sons, Haran, Nahor, and Abraham, and one
daughter, Sarah. He settled in “Ur of the Chaldees,” where his son Haran
died, leaving behind him his son Lot. Nahor settled at Haran, a place on the
way to Ur. Terah afterwards migrated with Abraham (probably his
youngest son) and Lot (his grandson), together with their families, from
Ur, intending to go with them to Canaan; but he tarried at Haran, where he
spent the remainder of his days, and died at the age of two hundred and
five years (Genesis 11:24-32; Joshua 24:2). What a wonderful part the
descendants of this Chaldean shepherd have played in the history of the
world!
