Chapter 51

Abraham was your early relative

v1 ‘Listen to me,’ says the *Lord. ‘You desire to live in the right way. You come to me, your *Lord, for help. Think about the rock from which you came. In other words, think about the origin of the family to which you belong. v2 That family began with your early relative Abraham and his wife Sarah. Abraham was only one man when I called him. But then I so *blessed him that he had a very large family.’
