General Notes

Name Suffix:<NSFX> (Uranus)
Abraham or Abram, biblical patriarch, according to the Book of Genesis(see 11:27-25:10), progenitor of the Hebrews, who probably lived in theperiod between 2000 and 1500 bc. Abraham is regarded by Muslims, who callhim Ibrahim, as an ancestor of the Arabs through Ishmael. He was onceconsidered a contemporary of Hammurabi, king of Babylonia. Because thebiblical account of his life is based on traditions preserved by oraltransmission rather than by historical records, no biography in thepresent sense can be written.

Originally called Abram, Abraham was the son of Terah, a descendant ofShem, and was born in the city of Ur of the Chaldees, where he marriedhis half sister Sarai, or Sarah. They left Ur with his nephew Lot andLot's family under a divine inspiration and went to Haran. Receiving apromise that God would make him a great nation, Abram moved on to Canaan,where he lived as a nomad. Famine led him to Egypt, but he was driven outfor misrepresenting Sarai as his sister. Again in Canaan, after quarrelsbetween Abram and Lot and their herdsmen, they separated, Lot remainingnear Sodom and Abram continuing his nomadic life. He later rescued Lotfrom the captivity of King Chedorlaomer of Elam and was blessed by thepriest Melchizedek, king of Salem. Then God promised Abram a son by hiswife Sarai, repeated his earlier promises, and confirmed these by acovenant.

When this covenant was later renewed, the rite of circumcision wasestablished, Abram's name became Abraham, and Sarai's became Sarah. Godsubsequently repeated his promise of a son by Sarah by means of visitingangels.

When God informed Abraham that he intended to destroy Sodom and Gomorrahbecause of the wickedness of their inhabitants, Abraham pleaded with himto spare the cities. Eventually it was agreed that God would spare thecities if he could find only ten righteous men. The ten men could not befound, and God destroyed both cities.

According to the Bible, Ishmael was Abraham's first son, born whenAbraham was 86 years old. Ishamel's mother was Hagar, an Egyptian slavein Abraham's household. Isaac, born to Abraham by Sarah in his 100thyear, was the first of his legitimate descendants. God demanded thatAbraham sacrifice Isaac as a test of faith, but because of Abraham'sunquestioning compliance, God permitted him to spare Isaac and rewardedAbraham with a formal renewal of his promise. According to Islamictradition, Hagar was the true wife of Ibrahim and Ishmael the favored sonand intended sacrificial victim. After Sarah died, Abraham marriedKeturah and had six sons by her. He died at the biblical age of 175 andwas buried beside Sarah in the Cave of Machpelah, in what is now Hebron,West Bank.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This line to Abraham is purely speculative, as I am sureyou have already stated. But it must be true... it was all found on theinternet! Most of it came from:
