Plot

Abram lives in Harran, a rich city. His wife Sarai is childless, and their only heir is Eliezer of Damascus. One day, Abraham hears the voice of God, who says that he must leave Harran and travel to an unknown land. God promises to make a great nation from him and renames him Abraham and his wife Sarai as Sarah. The pattern for the plot is the Genesis chapters 11–25.
