Abraham

Abraham is an ancient man living in the region of Canaan. Abraham is originally named Abram, but God changes his name to Abraham. Abraham has a son named Ishmael with his maidservant Hagar, but since Ishmael is illegitimate, he does not inherit the blessings of the firstborn son. Abraham has his second son, Isaac, with his wife Sarah when she is very old, so Isaac is considered to be a gift from God, and receives the blessing. Abraham is a righteous man, so God chooses him and tells him to sacrifice his son Isaac, to prove his loyalty. Abraham is filled with sorrow, but he binds Isaac to an altar and gets ready to kill him. At the last second, God stops Abraham, providing a ram to sacrifice. God then makes his covenant with Abraham, promising to bless him and make his descendants as numerous as the stars...
