Книга "Бытие", в частности, изображает Авраама могущественным властителем - вождем, который общается с царями, вступает в военные союзы и распоряжается земельной собственностью. Он любит мир, но искушен в ратном деле и великодушен как победитель. Он - воплощение справедливости, праведности, чистоты и гостеприимства. Он также предстает как пророк и заступник пред Богом. Но что наиболее важно, Авраам является прототипом человека, твердо придерживающегося своей веры в повторяющееся обетование Господа о том, что он должен стать "отцом многих народов", даже если внешние обстоятельства свидетельствуют об обратном. | |||
