"And Terah lived 70 years, and made birth Abram, Nahor and Haran." [Genesis 11:26]In the land of Uru kingdom, in the family of Tera, a son of man was born.
This night was rainstorm, and sky were covered heavy cloud.
And here, in the time that the baby Abram was born, after cloud big star appeared, and it spreaded light on all surrounding the darkness.
The people stared in the star in the big wonder.
A little while stareing, and here the sparkring star swallow four big stars that were near it.
The all were frightened from the awful sight that occuered against thier eyes, and they were hurry to tell on as to the king Nimurode.Nimurode was king of Uru kingdum, and he was might and famous hero in all the countries of the neighborfood, and all citizen very feared before him.
When they came to tell to king on the strange sight that they saw, the people found Nimurode was sad and was angry.
All this night Nimurode can not did sleep, and dreamed bad dreams.
In his derams he saw that near future new king will stand, strong and brame than him, and will take the kingdom.
When Nimurode heard the story on that the appeared star in the sky swallow the other stars, he knew that in one of houses in this kingdom a baby was born, in the future new nation will come out from him.
Nimurode ordered on his slaves to look for in all the houses, and to bring to him the baby there now was born.Parents of Abram heard that slaves of Nimurode looking for their baby, and they feared very much perhaps he will take their little son from them.
His mother of Abram took her son, run away from her house and hided in the cave that in the mountains.
Three years the mother and her son hided in the cave.
Between all these years God guarded on the little Abram, and he took care so that food and light of sun will not lack in the cave for him.The all were suprised: Ten generations passed from the flood generation until Abram, and God did not take care even one, and why he take care Abram very much now ?
For them one of the sages answered in the fable:" Once for the king very worthiness stone was missing.
The king collected all his slaves, and ordered on them to look for the worthiness stone.
The slaves prepared big sand strainers, and collected piles of sand, and began to strain.
When they did not find the worthiness stone in one pile of sand, they passed for the other pile.
As they strained all the sand that there was in the land, and at last after many finding, they found the worthiness stone.As God did: In all generation and generation God looked for man that was godfearing and honest, and can raise nation of Israel from him, and didi not find.
When Abram was born, God knew that he found the appropriate person - the worthiness stone was found.
Abram will be father of nation of Israel.
