Abraham

Abraham is a Biblical figure.



Origin of the Allusion
In the Bible, Abraham is known for being the husband of Sarah and the father of Isaac. Abraham and Sarah were both growing very old, and they wanted a child, but didn't think it would be possible. God allowed Sarah to become pregnant (understand that she was elderly). When the boy was a little older, God commanded Abraham to sacrifice the child, but at the very last moment, directed him to kill a ram instead. This test of faith makes Abraham an example for others throughout the Bible (see Hebrews 11).
