Conclusion of: Abraham -A Friend of God

After a while Abraham and his household left Ha'ran and  came to the land called Ca'naan. There Jehovah said:  'This is the land that I will give to your children.'  Abraham stayed in Ca'naan and lived in tents. 

God began to help Abraham so that he came to have great flocks of sheep and other animals and hundreds of servants. But he and Sarah did not have any children of their own. 

When Abraham was 99 years old, Jehovah said: 'I promise that you will become a father to many nations of people.' But how could this happen, since Abraham and Sarah were too old to have a child? 

Genesis 11:27-32; 12:1-7; 17:1-8, 15-17; 18:9-19.
