Abraham and Sarah - Arthur A Ferdig - April 1980

Arthur A Ferdig

The lives of this remarkable man and woman began 352 years after the flood - about 251 years after the nations were scattered from Babel. Abraham (originally known as Abram) was the son of Terah: He was born in the city of Ur, in Chaldea (c. 2017 B.C.), the ninth generation of Shem, son of Noah. Abram's birth occurred only two years after Noah's death. Out of idolatry. As was common in Chaldea, Terah and his family were steeped in idolatry. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
