The Bible (Genesis 11:26-32) does not mention his occupation, only giving a genealogy leading up to Abram. One could make an educated guess that he may have been a herder or a tent maker or a moon god.

Who was sarai father?

Gen:20:11-12: And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. Gen:11:27: Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. Terah is Sarai's(Sarah's) father.


Who was Sarah's father in the Bible?

This detail is not supplied in the Bible. No mention is made of Sarai's parents (Sarai was her original name).AnswerTwice in the Bible, Abraham passed Sarah off as his sister, although she was (also) his wife. This claim would make Terah, Abraham's father, the father of Sarah. If Sarah was the daughter of Terah, and with the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah, and of Jacob and Leah and Rachel, the patriarchal family line is a self-contained unit, originating solely in Terah, with no pathways to or from the outer world. The children of Israel were all descended solely from Terah, through both male and female lines all the way back to Abraham and Sarah. The Bible does not confirm that Sarah was Abraham's sister, but there is a consistency here that makes compelling sense for her to be, and therefore the daughter of Terah.
