However, through divine intervention, he was saved from the fire of those who worship idols.

Following this, the Septuagint states that Terah and his descendants departed from the land of the Chaldeans, which can also be understood in Hebrew as "out of the fire of the Chaldeans." This narrative is connected to the account of Aran, who met his end in the territory of his birth within the fire of the Chaldeans, signifying that he perished because he refused to worship through fire.
