Ramban on Genesis 11:31/רמב"ן על בראשית י״א:ל״א
אוַיֵּצְאוּ אִתָּם מֵאוּר כַּשְׂדִּים בַּעֲבוּר כִּי אַבְרָם נִכְבָּד מֵאָבִיו, וְהַהוֹלְכִים בַּעֲצָתוֹ וּבַעֲבוּרוֹ יֵלְכוּ, אָמַר הַכָּתוּב "וַיֵּצְאוּ אִתָּם", וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאָמַר "וַיִּקַּח תֶּרַח", אֲבָל לוֹט וְשָׂרַי בַּעֲבוּר אַבְרָם הָלְכוּ אִתָּם, כִּי גַּם אַחֲרֵי שֶׁנִּפְרַד אַבְרָם מֵאָבִיו הָלְכוּ אִתּוֹ:
1AND THEY WENT FORTH WITH THEM FROM UR OF THE CHALDEES. Because Abram was more important than his father and those that followed his counsel and for whose sake they went, Scripture says, And they went forth, [rather than “he went forth”] even though it says at the beginning of the verse, And Terah took. Lot and Sarai, however, went with them to the land of Canaan on account of Abram, for even after Abram separated from his father they went along with him.382,’ that is with Abram. But out of respect to his father, Scripture ascribes it to both of them.”
