The birth order of Terah's sons, and more particularly whether he sired Abram when he was 70 or 130 years old, is in dispute. [[James Ussher]] assumed 130 years, solely because the [[Bible]] discusses the departure of Abram from the country of Haran ''after'' it records Terah's death. Jones gives further support to this proposition for the same reason.<ref name=Jones>Jones, Floyd N.
