Abram, but your name shall be
Abraham, for I have made you the
father of a multitude of nations.

foreskin. And Ishmael his son was
thirteen years old when he was
circumcised in the flesh of his
foreskin. That very day Abraham

and those bought with money from a

him.

When he saw them, he ran from the
tent door to meet them and bowed
himself to the earth and said, “O
Lord, if I have found favor in
your sight, do not pass by your
servant. Let a little water be
brought, and wash your feet, and
rest yourselves under the tree,
while I bring a morsel of bread,
that you may refresh yourselves,
and after that you may pass
on—since you have come to your
servant.” So they said, “Do as you
have said.” ...

toward the territory of the Negeb

“She is my sister.” And Abimelech
king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
But God came to Abimelech in a
dream by night and said to him,
“Behold, you are a dead man
because of the woman whom you have
taken, for she is a man's wife.”
Now Abimelech had not approached
her. So he said, “Lord, will you
kill an innocent people? Did he
not himself say to me, ‘She is my
sister’? And she herself said, ‘He
is my brother.’ In the integrity
of my heart and the innocence of
my hands I have done this.” ...

(Genesis 21:5)

this slave woman with her son, for
the son of this slave woman shall
not be heir with my son Isaac.”
And the thing was very displeasing
to Abraham on account of his son.
But God said to Abraham, “Be not
displeased because of the boy and
because of your slave woman.
Whatever Sarah says to you, do as
she tells you, for through Isaac
shall your offspring be named. And
I will make a nation of the son of
the slave woman also, because he
is your offspring.” So Abraham

bread and a skin of water and gave

shoulder, along with the child,
and sent her away. And she
departed and wandered in the
wilderness of Beersheba.

morning, saddled his donkey, and

him, and his son Isaac. And he cut
the wood for the burnt offering
and arose and went to the place of
which God had told him. On the
third day Abraham lifted up his
eyes and saw the place from afar.
Then Abraham said to his young
men, “Stay here with the donkey; I
and the boy will go over there and
worship and come again to you.”

burnt offering and laid it on
Isaac his son. And he took in his
hand the fire and the knife. So
they went both of them together.

Abraham, “My father!” And he said,

“Behold, the fire and the wood,
but where is the lamb for a burnt
offering?” ...

advanced in years. And
the Lord had blessed Abraham in
all things. And Abraham said to
his servant, the oldest of his
household, who had charge of all
that he had, “Put your hand under
my thigh, that I may make you
swear by theLord, the God of
heaven and God of the earth, that
you will not take a wife for my
son from the daughters of the
Canaanites, among whom I dwell,
but will go to my country and to
my kindred, and take a wife for my
son Isaac.” The servant said to

the land from which you came?” ...

of Mamre, the field that Abraham
purchased from the Hittites. There
Abraham was buried, with Sarah his
wife.
(Genesis 25:8-10)

and kept my charge, my
commandments, my statutes, and my
laws.

and fathers, hear me. The God of
glory appeared to our father
Abraham when he was in

Haran,
(Acts 7:2)
ESV
Then he went out from the land of
the Chaldeans and lived in Haran.
And after his father died, God
removed him from there into this
land in which you are now living.
(Acts 7:4)
ESV
For it is written that Abraham had
two sons, one by a slave woman and
one by a free woman. But the son
of the slave was born according to
the flesh, while the son of the
free woman was born through
promise. Now this may be
interpreted allegorically: these
women are two covenants. One is
from Mount Sinai, bearing children
for slavery; she is Hagar. Now
Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia;
she corresponds to the present
Jerusalem, for she is in slavery
with her children. But the
Jerusalem above is free, and she
is our mother. ...
(Galatians 4:22-31)
ESV
For this Melchizedek, king of
Salem, priest of the Most High
God, met Abraham returning from
the slaughter of the kings and
blessed him, and to him Abraham
apportioned a tenth part of
everything. He is first, by
translation of his name, king of
righteousness, and then he is also
king of Salem, that is, king of
peace. He is without father or
mother or genealogy, having
neither beginning of days nor end
of life, but resembling the Son of
God he continues a priest forever.
See how great this man was to whom
Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth
of the spoils! And those
descendants of Levi who receive
the priestly office have a
commandment in the law to take
tithes from the people, that is,
from their brothers, though these
also are descended from Abraham.
...
(Hebrews 7:1-10)
ESV
By faith Abraham obeyed when
he was called to go out to a place
that he was to receive as an
inheritance. And he went out, not
knowing where he was going. By
faith he went to live in the land
of promise, as in a foreign land,
living in tents with Isaac and
Jacob, heirs with him of the same
promise. For he was looking
forward to the city that has
foundations, whose designer and
builder is God.
(Hebrews 11:8-10)
ESV
By faith Abraham, when he was
tested, offered up Isaac, and he
who had received the promises was
in the act of offering up his only
son, of whom it was said, “Through
Isaac shall your offspring be
named.” He considered that God was
able even to raise him from the
dead, from which, figuratively
speaking, he did receive him back.
(Hebrews 11:17-19)
ESV
Was not Abraham our father
justified by works when he offered
up his son Isaac on the altar? You
see that faith was active along
with his works, and faith was
completed by his works; and the
Scripture was fulfilled that says,
“Abraham believed God, and it was
counted to him as
righteousness”—and he was called a
friend of God. You see that a
person is justified by works and
not by faith alone.
(James 2:21-24)
