I wonder why Abram's brother, “Haran, dies before the face of his father”
[11:28]. We have only one hint: We are told the names of Haran's daughters:
Milcah (which means "Queen") and Yiscah (which means "see")
[11:29].
For nine generations after the Flood woman were invisible. Even Noah's wife is just called "Noah's wife" [7:13].
Does the patriach kill his son because Haran dares to give his daughters names-- especially names that said together mean "see the queen"?
How does Abraham successfully wrestle with the impulse he may have inherited from his father: to kill sons?
