Post by Yisraelzion suppressed by Holy atlantic civilization.

Ur Kaśdim, Mesopotamia
Abram rubbed his eyes and stretched. He moved slowly so as not to wake his sleeping wife. His nephew, Lot, was already awake.
"Good morning uncle"
Abram nodded and made his way to the tent entrance. When he stepped outside in the hot morning he heard a man's voice calling for him

"Abram"
He looked around, not a single person

"Abram"
He realized that the voice had to be in his head, a god was speaking to him

"I am here" he said aloud. The voice of the god continued

"Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."

He started shaking in fear. Leave? Uproot his life at 75 and start again in a strange land? Surely there was a purpose to this.

"As you command it, it shall be done"

He made his way back to the tent, his entire family was awake. He cleared his throat

"Everyone, we are moving West. I was issued a command by a god to pack up and leave. Come on, we don't have time to waste"

His wife spoke up
"Dear, where are we going?"

"Canaan"

Where did he get Canaan from? He just felt it in his bones that's where he had to go

Lot spoke up
"Uncle this will take time. Also, you look different"

"Different? How?"

"You look....like you have an aura about you of.....purity"

Abram shrugged and got to packing up for the long journey West

*Some Time Later*
Shechem, Canaan

As they passed through Moreh, he came upon some locals engaged in worship of a local god. He couldn't help but snicker a bit at them. He heard the voice speak once again only this time he saw an apparition in the form of a man. This apparition was a young man dressed in simple white robes, he was bearded and had curly hair. In an instant the man shifted forms to a woman then back to the man. This was the voice of the god in human form. He fell to his knees

"To your offspring I will give this land"

The apparition vanished. He quickly built an altar and gave an offering of one of his flock in gratitude. His family continued on to Bethel.
