The Apocalypse of Abraham 1 — Chapter 1

The Apocalypse of Abraham · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1On the day when I planed the gods of my father Terah and the gods of Nahor his brother, when I was searching as to who the Mighty Elohim (God) in truth is — I, Abraham, at the time when it fell to my lot, when I fulfilled the services (the sacrifices) of my father Terah to his gods of wood and stone, gold and silver, brass and iron, having entered into their temple for service, I found the god whose name was Merumath (which was) hewn out of stone, fallen forward at the feet of the iron god Nahon.

2And it came to pass, when I saw it, my heart was perplexed, and I considered in my mind that I should not be able to bring him back to his place, I, Abraham, alone, because he was heavy, being of a large stone, and I went forth and made it known to my father.

3And he entered with me, and when both of us moved him (the god) forward, so that we might bring him back to his place, his head fell from him while I was still holding him by the head.
