ABRAHAM: LESSON 1: ANSWERS

Below are my answers for lesson one.  Let me say upfront that I don't claim to have the best answers, so if you have a different interpretation, please explain.

Lesson 1:

1. What does the name Abram mean?

Answer:  High Father.

2. Why do you think God told Abram to leave his country, get away
from his kin and his father's house?

Answer:  See Joshua 24:2

3. What three promises did God make to Abram?

Answer:  I will make thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great.

4. The three promises that God makes are contingent on Abram doing
something first. What must Abram do first?

Answer:  See question number 3.

5. How old was Abram when he departed out of Haran?

Answer:  75 years old.

6. Why did Abram go down into Egypt?

Answer:  To escape a famine

7. Even though Abram was a man called by God and obviously
obedient, what do we learn about him in verses 11 - 13?

Answer:  He was subject to doubt and therefore inclined to try to handle things in
his own way. (Is anyone reading this blog like Abraham?)
