Genesis 11:23
And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
And Serug lived, after he begat Nahor, two hundred years,.... The years of his life were two hundred and thirty:
and he begat sons and daughters; nowhere else mentioned: he died, according to the above Jewish writer {o}, in the one hundredth year of Abraham, and in his days, according to the eastern writers {p}, idolatry began, and the kingdom of Damascus was set up {q}; and Samirus, king of the Chaldeans, invented weights and measures, weaving silk, and the art of dying {s}.
