Usage: The name Serug appears in the genealogies of Genesis and 1 Chronicles, identifying him as an ancestor of Abraham.

Serug is the son of Reu and the father of Nahor. His name appears in the genealogies that trace the lineage from Noah to Abraham, highlighting the continuity of the covenantal line. The Berean Standard Bible references Serug in Genesis 11:20-23: "When Reu was 32 years old, he became the father of Serug. And after he had become the father of Serug, Reu lived 207 years and had other sons and daughters. When Serug was 30 years old, he became the father of Nahor. And after he had become the father of Nahor, Serug lived 200 years and had other sons and daughters." Additionally, 1 Chronicles 1:26 lists Serug in the genealogical record: "Serug, Nahor, Terah." Serug's mention in these genealogies underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, connecting the patriarchs to the post-flood generations.
