Since Noah was 600 years old at the flood, two years after the flood Noah would have been 602. Hence we find Shem, the youngest son of Noah, always mentioned first; Moses is mentioned before his elder brother Aaron; and Abram before his two elder brethren Haran and Nahor. I used an approximation of a historical date for the building of Solomon's Temple. Haran was certainly the eldest son of Terah, and he appears to have been born when Terah was about seventy years of age, and his birth was followed in successive periods with those of Nahor his second, and Abram his youngest son.

To help confirm this lets look at Genesis 11:32 -12:4. : The apostle Paul’s missionary journeys and letter writing (Acts 13–28 and Pauline Epistles), 70 c.e. When any case of dignity or pre-eminence is to be marked, then even the youngest son is set before all the rest, though contrary to the usage of the Scriptures in other cases. But Ham is thought to be named before Japheth since he is younger. There are probably problems too difficult to solve just like what we have in the book of Judges. Terah was 70 when he also had his first son.
: King Cyrus of Persia allows the Jews to return to their homeland, which begins the Postexilic Period (2 Chronicles 36:22–23), 515 b.c.e.

Now it is interesting that Genesis 5:32 names Ham before Japheth since Japheth is the oldest: Shem is named first because it is through him that Abraham, the Hebrew nation, and the Messiah comes from. So, if we take the hint from Genesis 12:4 and realize that Abram was actually 75 when his 205 year old father dies, that means that Terah was really 130 years old when Abram was born.
