KJV Genesis 11 : 29
And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.

John Gill commentary
Genesis 11:29
the name of Abraham’s wife was Sarai: it is not said whose daughter she was, unless she is the same with Iscah, the daughter of Haran, and so had two names, Iscah her name before marriage, Sarai after it, Abram calling her "my mistress", as "Sarai" signifies, as she called him my lord: so the Targum of Jonathan, Iscah, this is Sarai; in like manner Jarchi, Baal Hatturim, and other Jewish writersF6Bereshit Rabba, sect 38 fol 33 3 4 , take them to be the same.
But it is said Sarah was ten years younger than Abraham and if Haran was Abraham’s younger brother how old was he when he begat her
KJV Genesis 17 : 17
Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
How can one understand these commententaries?
