1355. Verse 26. And Terah lived seventy years, and he begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

'Terah lived seventy years' means the beginning of the ninth and final state, 'Terah' here, as previously, meaning idolatrous worship. 'And he begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran' means derivatives from it, Abram, Nahor, and Haran being actual people after whom nations that were idolaters were also named.
