Genesis 20:12 has Abraham honestly saying that Sarah is indeed his sister when he is talking with Abimelek.
Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not of my mother; and she became my wife.
How is this compatible with Genesis 11:31 which describes Sarah as being merely Terach's daughter -in-law, rather than as his daughter (a more immediate relationship, and therefore presumably more worthy of mention)?
Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Harran, they settled there.
