The Jewish version, the King James Version and now, the Douay-Rheims version used by Catholics, all say and confirm that Abraham, Isaac & Jacob and Judah and therefore, Jeshua (Jesus), are descendants of the Chaldeans. It was not that Terah, Abraham, Nahor & Haran simply lived amongst the Chaldeans. The Chaldeans are their people. Who the Chaldeans are has been discussed several times in recent months.
Judith 5 (DRV)
1 And it was told Holofernes the general of the army of the Assyrians, that
the children of Israel prepared themselves to resist, and had shut up the ways of the mountains. 2 And he was transported with exceeding great fury and indignation, and he called all the princes of Moab and the leaders of Amman. 3 And he said to them: Tell me what is this people that besetteth the mountains: or what are their cities, and of what sort, and how great: also what is their power, or what is their multitude: or who is the king over their warfare: 4 And why they above all that dwell in the east, have despised us, and have not come out to meet us, that they might receive us with peace? 5 Then Achior captain of all the children of Ammon [Lot's descendants] answering, said: If thou vouch safe, my lord, to hear, I will tell the truth in thy sight concerning this people, that dwelleth in the mountains, and there shall not a false word come out of my mouth. 6
This people is of the offspring of the Chaldeans. 7 They dwelt first in Mesopotamia, because they would not follow the gods of their fathers, who were in the land of the Chaldeans.
