For other uses, see Abraham (disambiguation), Abram (disambiguation), Avraham (disambiguation), and Avram (disambiguation). Abraham[a] (originally Abram)[b] is the common patriarch of the Abrahamic religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.[5] In Judaism he is the founding father of the special relationship between the Jews and God; in Christianity, he is the spiritual progenitor of all believers, Jewish or gentile (non-Jewish);[c][6] and in Islam he is a link in the chain of prophets that begins with Adam and culminates in Muhammad.[4] Abraham Patriarch Born Abram ben Terah Namesake of Abrahamic religions: Traditional founder of Judaism Relative(s) Haran (brother) Nahor (brother) Sarah (half-sister and wife) Jacob (grandson) Esau (grandson) Lot (nephew) Twelve Tribes of Israel (great-grandsons) Dinah (great-granddaughter) ... Abraham His life, told in the narrative in the Book of Genesis, revolves around the themes of posterity and land. Abraham is called by God to leave the house of his father Terah and settle in the land of Canaan, which God now promises to Abraham and his progeny. Various candidates are put forward who might inherit the land after Abraham; and, while promises are made to Ishmael about founding a great nation, Isaac, Abraham's son by his half-sister Sarah, inherits God's promises to Abraham. Abraham purchases a tomb (the Cave of the Patriarchs) at Hebron to be Sarah's grave, thus establishing his right to the land; and, in the second generation, his heir Isaac is married to a woman from his own kin, thus ruling the Canaanites out of any inheritance. Abraham later marries Keturah and has six more sons; but, on his death, when he is buried beside Sarah, it is Isaac who receives "all Abraham's goods", while the other sons receive only "gifts".[7] The Abraham story cannot be definitively related to any specific time, and the patriarchal age, along with the Exodus and the period of the judges, is widely seen as a late literary construct that does not relate to any period in actual history.[8] It was probably composed in the early Persian period (late 6th century BCE) as a result of tensions between Jewish landowners who had stayed in Judah during the Babylonian captivity and traced their right to the land through their "father Abraham", and the returning exiles who based their counterclaim on Moses and the Exodus tradition,[9] and after a century of exhaustive archaeological investigation no evidence has been found for a historical Abraham.[10] The Abraham cycle Historicity and origins of the narrative Religious traditions In the arts See also Notes References Bibliography External links Last edited 2 days ago by DanFromAnotherPlace RELATED ARTICLES Isaac Biblical patriarch Sarah Biblical character Ishmael Prophet and figure in the Abrahamic religions Post Reply

Ohiograce^ View Profile History	Name 3 people in the Holy Scriptures you favor and Why? Posted : 14 Mar, 2022 10:51 AM I am thankful that scripture mentions ordinary people. Apart from Christ, we are all humans and descendants of Adam. As for abraham and moses and peter and paul, they are ordinary sinners just like the rest of us, but God appeared to them in ways we can never expect. So I salute ordinary Christians, because although they may not get mentioned at all in this life, they are just as important as those who are in the public arena. There are names of believers that only occur once in the New Testament. We don't know anything about Euodia and Syntyche. But paul says they struggled together with him in the gospel (phil. 4:2-3). We could go to Romans 16 and read the names there: verse 6, Mary who worked hard; tryphena and tryphosa and persis who also worked hard, verse 12; priscilla and aquila who risked their lives, verses 3-4. I have only chosen a few. Look for those names only mentioned one time. The world always looks for the person in the spotlight. Christians shouldn't do that. Every member of the body of Christ is important, even if no one on earth recognizes them. Let's change that! Post Reply
