	Abram came from the lineage of [[Shem]], who came from [[Noah]]. Abraham was first called Abram. According to Genesis, God called Abram to faith and obedience, calling him to leave his home of [[Ur]], and move to a land that He would show him. Abram, his wife Sarai ([[Sarah]]), and his extended clan then moved to the land of [[Canaan]]. In this land, God promised to bless him and make him a great nation (although Abraham was childless at the time). Trusting this promise, Abram journeyed down to Shechem, then to a spot between Bethel and Ai. He then moved to the oaks of Mamre in Hebron. The Bible tells us that Abraham trusted God, and God credited this to him as righteousness.		Abram came from the lineage of [[Shem]], who came from [[Noah]]. Abraham was first called Abram.

−	God called Abraham to go to a place where he would show him, and promised him that he would become a great nation, that was blessed with a great name - see [[Genesis 12]]. God promised that all people on earth would be blessed through him. This promise of blessing, descendants and land is known as the Abrahamic covenant.

−
−	God reaffirms his promise to Abraham in [[Genesis 15]]. This is at an important stage in Abraham's life, because Abraham is increasingly worried that he has no son. It is in Genesis 15 that the covenant is formalized, and further detail regarding it is given.

−	The promise is again reaffirmed to Abraham, this time in [[Genesis 17]]. This again is in the context of Abraham worrying that he has no son through his wife Sarah. In th previous chapter (some years previously) Abraham had slept with Hagar, his slave, and a son Isaac was born. Abraham had tried to do things his way, showing he did not completely trust God. Yet in chapter 17, God specifically promises a child through Sarah specifically. [[Circumcision]] is defined as the sign of the covenant.
−
−	After Abraham has died, God continues to reaffirm the promise to his descendants. He does this to [[Isaac]] in [[Genesis 26]] when Isaac, fearing famine, considers leaving [[Canaan]], and going to [[Egypt]]. A generation later, the promise is affirmed to [[Jacob]] ([[Genesis 35]]). This affirmation occurs in the context of Jacob's sons deceitfully taking revenge on some Canaanite; Jacob is worried that the Canaanites will respond by attacking his family.
