14 And Haran hasted to save
them, but the fire flamed over
him, and he was burnt in the
fire, and he died in Ur of the
Chaldees before Terah his
father, and they buried him in
Ur of the Chaldees.

15 And Terah went forth
from Ur of the Chaldees, he
and his sons, to go into the
land of Lebanon and into
the land of Canaan, and he
dwelt in the land of Haran,
and Abram, dwelt with Terah
his father in Haran two weeks
of years. 16 And in the sixth
week, in the fifth year thereof,
Abram sat up throughout the
night on the new moon of
the seventh month to observe
the stars from the evening to
the morning, in order to see
what would be the character
of the year with regard to the
rains, and he was alone as
he sat and observed. 17 And
a word came into his heart
and he said: “All the signs of
the stars, and the signs of the
moon and of the sun are all in
the hand of Yahuah. Why do
A G A I N S T
I D O L S
I search (them) out? 18 If He
desireth, He causeth it to rain,
morning and evening; And if
He desireth, He withholdeth
it, And all things are in His
hand.” 19 And he prayed that
night and said “My Elohim,
Elohim Most High, Thou
alone art my Elohim, And
Thee and Thy dominion
have I chosen. And Thou
hast created all things, And all
things that are are the work of
Thy hands.
20 Deliver me from the hands
of evil spirits who have sway
over the thoughts of men’s
hearts, And let them not lead
me astray from Thee, my
Elohim. And stablish Thou me
and my seed for ever That we
go not astray from henceforth
and for evermore.” 21 And
he said Shall I return unto
Ur of the Chaldees who seek
my face that I may return to
them, or am I to remain here
in this place? The right path
before Thee prosper it in the
hands of Thy servant that he
may fulfil (it) and that I may
not walk in the deceitfulness
of my heart, O my Elohim.”
22 And he made an end of
speaking and praying, and
behold the word of Yahuah
was sent to him through me,
saying: “Get thee up from thy
country, and from thy kindred
