Abraham's Family Tree
Though his forefathers were from southern Mesopotamia, Adonai leads Abram on a journey to the land of Cannan, which he promises to Abram’s descendants. For a while, Abram lives in the region of Hebron, after which he is described as a “Hebrew.” Abraham’s family tree is connected by interesting stories. He is known as the patriarch of the Jewish people of today through Isaac, the son born to him and Sarah in their old age in fulfillment of a promise from God. Many Arabic people are also descended from Abraham through his son Ishmael, born to Abraham and his wife’s servant Hagar.

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:
“A real hangover is nothing to try out family remedies on. The only cure for a real hangover is death.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“There is something singularly grand and impressive in the sound of a tree falling in a perfectly calm night like this, as if the agencies which overthrow it did not need to be excited, but worked with a subtle, deliberate, and conscious force, like a boa-constrictor, and more effectively then than even in a windy day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
