In the account of Terah's family mentioned in the Book of Genesis (Genesis 11:26–32), Nahor II (Hebrew: נָחוֹר – Nāḥōr) is listed as the son of Terah, amongst two other brothers, Abram and Haran (v.26,27).

Terah, their father, coordinated the gathering of his family to journey west to their destination (Genesis 11:31).

[2] In this region, Nahor and his family settled except for his brother Haran, who had died sometime ago back in Ur (v.28).

In his final speech to the Israelite leaders assembled at Shechem, Joshua recounts the history of God's formation of the Israelite nation, beginning with "Terah the father of Abraham and Nachor, [who] lived beyond the Euphrates River and worshiped other gods" (Joshua 24:2).

The character of Nahor's concubine Reumah is portrayed by Evelina Meghangi in the same film.
