The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.” Genesis 12:1
Abram would have lived in a close-knit family community and to be asked to leave them was a big deal. So why does God ask this of Abram? In Abram’s day it was your father who showed you how to pray, appease and sacrifice to the gods. God is calling him out of this old way of living (his father’s household) and into a new life in God’s household.
