Son of Reu and father of Nahor, an ancestor of Abraham in the post-flood patriarchal line. Serug lived 230 years and maintained the genealogical chain that would lead to the father of faith. Ancient tradition associates his era with the increasing spread of idolatry in Mesopotamia, setting the stage for God’s dramatic call to Abraham.
When Reu was 32 years old, he became the father of Serug.Genesis 11:20 · Berean Standard Bible
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.

Serug is generation 17 of the 64 Scripture traces from Adam to Jesus, following Eber → Peleg → Reu, and followed by Nahor → Terah → Abraham. See the whole line.
