| | Abraham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The name Abraham was given to Abram (and the name Sarah to Sarai) at the same time as the covenant of circumcision (chapter 17), which is practiced in Judaism and Islam to this day. | | | Her son Ishmael thus was Abram's firstborn (and Islamic doctrine holds that he was the rightful heir). | | | Abram migrated to Harran, apparently the classical Carrhae, on a branch of the Habor. |

| | Sanctifying God’s Name & Abram’s Identity II |
| | Abram built his altars, and also “called out in God’s name”, teaching, God is the only One to serve, not idols, but we are also unworthy of doing so. | | | Terach was jealous of Abram, as he established new ideas, denying the religion of the masses. | | | Parenthetically, Abram’s requirement of 40 years before fully comprehending what he could about God, teaches that the study and realization of truth - of God - is no simple matter. |

| | Bible History, Old Testament: Vol I - Chapter 11 |
| | But when the Divine command came, Abram was "not disobedient unto the heavenly vision." Perhaps the arrival and settlement of Nahor and his family, bringing with them their idolatrous associations, may have formed an additional incentive for departing. | | | The second call of Jehovah to Abram, as given in Genesis 12:1-3, consisted of a fourfold command, and a fourfold promise. | | | Upon this the king summoned Abram, and addressed him in words of reproach, which Abram must have the more keenly felt that they came from an idolater. |

| | Abram had no ceremonial in which to rest; he was righteous through his faith, and righteous only through his faith; and so must you and I be if we are ever to stand as righteous before God at all. | | | Lot's herdsmen quarrelled with the servants of Abram, and Abram with great disinterestedness gave his younger and far inferior relative the choice of pasturage, and gave up the well-watered plain of Sodom, which was the best of the land. | | | If your faith standeth in the wisdom of man, it is probably a faith in man; it is only that faith which believes the promise because God spake it which is real faith in God. |
