Abram of Ur, was found to be a righteous man. He lived among Chaldeans.
Genesis 11:
27 This is the account of Terah’s family line.
Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot. 28 While his father Terah was still alive, Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, in the land of his birth. 29 Abram and Nahor both married. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milkah; she was the daughter of Haran, the father of both Milkah and Iskah. 30 Now Sarai was childless because she was not able to conceive.
31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Harran, they settled there.
32 Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Harran.
Abram is called by Yahava, and told to go from his country (his former life - the old life); and to go to a country, which he would end up getting land, he would leave his people, and his own fathers household. Yahava, promised to make him into a great nation, and bless him, and that he would be a blessing. He promised blessing and curses, and all people of the land would be blessed through Him because why? He was a man of faith. While living in his prior home, he was surrounded by those who would worship idols and things of that nature, and Yahava, found him to be a righteous man who did not bow to those things.
Abram, left his former lifestyle surrounded by the Chaldeans and Lot decided to go with him, and he also took his wife Sarah.Genesis 12: 1 Yahava had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
2 “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.[a]
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”[b]
4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran. 5 He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there.
God changed the name of Abram to Abraham, and also changes Sarai to Sarah - Sarah though it would be a good idea for Abraham to take on a wife considering Yahava, did not yet give them a child and Ishmael was born but he was not the child of promised, but Abraham asked the Lord, to give a blessing to Ishamel a blessing and Yahava promises to make him a great nation. However Gods covenant would be when Isaac had come, which after he was done speaking he went up from Abraham.
After the birth of Isacc, - God brought a woman womb who was 99 years old back to life, and also used Abarhams old body to bring forth a son which was promised. Abraham due to this amazing doing of God, Sarah gave birth to Isacc as promised, while they were both ancient and in a sense dead.Genesis 17: 15 God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. 16 I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her.”
17 Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, “Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?” 18 And Abraham said to God, “If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!”
19 Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac.[d] I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. 21 But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year.” 22 When he had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.
God comes to test, Abraham, to see if he would willingly sacrifice his Son. Before Abraham goes up to mount Moriah for sacrifice he says that him and his lad (maybe 17-18) at the time that they would be back. Perhaps on the way there Abraham had thought well if God can bring my son back from the dead if I was to kill him, considering God gave him to me I will give him back, and maybe he will bring him back to life. Maybe he will give me something else to sacrifice instead of my son who was to bring forth the promise of a blessing to many peoples. And upon the "ACT", God stopped him, and there was a ram which God provided instead.
All of this was a vision of when the Lord Jesus Christ would end up being the sacrifice, where Isacc would carry on the promise being part of the Covenant which God had offered unto Abraham for being obedient, and believing in him.
Abraham did not doubt God and his promise. He willingly was going to give his Son because God had gave him the son in the first place.Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!”
And he said, “Here I am.”
2 Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”
3 So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off. 5 And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the [a]lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you.”
6 So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together. 7 But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!”
Hebrews were very different than us today - and some people out there will consider this a highly sacrilegious act.
