Birth of Abraham 1967 B.C.

About 2000 years before Jesus was born, there lived a man named Abram, who is spoken of in the Bible as the friend of God (Isaiah 41:8). He lived in the town of Ur Kasdim in Iraq, about 800 miles to the east of the land of Israel.The people of Ur knew nothing of the true God. They worshipped many false gods. The original people, from whom Abraham was called were descendants of Shem, Noah's son. At the age of forty, Abram and his family moved to Haran, about 600 miles (975 kilometers) to the northwest. There, at the age of 75, he received his calling from God... "The Lord said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." (Genesis 12:1-3).
