#2 The Call of Abraham
Abraham,
the father of the chosen people, is summoned by Yahweh. "Leave your
country, your family, and your father's house for the land that I will show
you." Abraham, the man of faith, did as God commanded. God's
appearance to Abraham (a "theophany") is represented by clouds and
flashing fire, in the center of which we have his name Yahweh in Hebrew
characters. The stars remind us of the promise made concerning Abraham's
numerous progeny.
