look to the lineage of Shem leading to Abraham to David and then Jesus eventually

Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:”


“These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: and Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah: and Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: and Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg: and Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters. And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu: and Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters. And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug: and Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters. And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor: and Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah: and Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭11:10-27‬ ‭KJV‬

The line beforehand before Abraham began at Seth and is found in genesis 5 leading to Noah and his sons in six and of those sons shems line is the line of Seth which leads to Abraham David and Jesus eventually

Is it a crisis or what? The Bible is your friend btw. Even google could’ve told you that.

Who was the father to Terah...

Am confused by the generation of Jesus Christ started from Seth
Terah's father was Nahor, who was eighth in line from Noah. Those from Seth's line are differentiated from those
of Cain's line, just as those from Jacob's line are differentiated from those of his twin brother Esau's line.
It is essentially the same differentiation made between believers and unbelievers.

Was it not Nahor?

Starting with Eber (from whose name the word "Hebrew" is derived, we have Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, TERAH, Abraham.
