The days of Terah were two hundred and five years] According to the Samaritan text Terah was 145 years old when he died. As Terah was 70 at the birth of Abram (Genesis 11:26) and the latter left Haran when he was 75, the Samaritan text confirms the statement in Acts 7:4 that Abram waited till after his father's death to leave Haran.
