    The biblical context of Genesis, divides it into two sections. Genesis 1-10 describes the creation story and the flood. Genesis 11-50 provides the genealogy of Abraham’s family, back to Noah, followed by the tradition of the earliest ancestors of Israel (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob known as the ‘Patriarchs’) wherein their faith is rooted and articulated (Brueggemann, 2003:43.) It is essentially a book of promises, a preface to the history of the Israel; identifying the nation of Israel and its God (Barton 2001:39).In Genesis 12 we see God choosing Abram, like Noah.

    In Genesis 12, God comes to Abram and tells him: “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.” At this moment, God makes several promises to Abram. He promises to make him into a great nation (Israel) and would bless him, making his name great, as he would be a blessing. Those who bless him would be blessed, and those who curse him, shall be cursed. Abram, without a sign of hesitation, leaves as God has commanded. Along with him, he brings his wife, nephew, their possessions, and their people from Haran. They arrive at the land of Canaan where God, again, comes to Abram and tells him that this land will be granted to his offspring.…

    In Genesis 22 God decides to test Abraham. He tests Abraham by instructing him to take his son, Isaac, to the land of Moriah and sacrifice him. Abraham obeyed and took Isaac to the land of Moriah, without Isaac knowing what was actually going on. Just as soon as Abraham was ready to kill his son, an angel of the Lord stopped him and told him that he knew he feared God. The angel then gave Abraham a lamb to sacrifice instead of his son. Since Abraham obeyed his command, the Lord said that he shall bless Abraham and make his offspring as numerous as the stars of heave and as the sand that is on the sea shore, as well as posses the gate of their enemies and bless the nations of the earth.…
