Confessions of a Wandering Jew: Religions of the World - Lesson 2

My ancestor is Abraham. Yeah, that Abraham who lived 4000 years ago. I am pretty sure you know some of his story as it is told in the first part of the Bible, Genesis chapters 11-25.

Abraham says:

וַיְהִ֞י כַּאֲשֶׁ֧ר הִתְע֣וּ אֹתִ֗י אֱלֹהִים֮ מִבֵּ֣ית אָבִי֒

"And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house . . . "[Genesis 20:13 - The Koren Jerusalem Bible]

He identifies himself as the first in a long line of “wanderers” through life, listening for the voice of God. You know us variously as Hebrews; children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; children of Israel; people of Judah — or just “Jews.”

We all have our own stories to tell as God has caused us to wander through life.

This is my story.
