11:29 – 12:8

The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai. Now Sarai was barren; she had no children.

Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled there.

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.

“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.”

So Abram left, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Haran. He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there.

The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD.

Favorites #9 and #21. Thank you, Dan!

[Hebrews 11:6]

My pleasure, Alba!

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

We're all in our places,

with sunshiny faces,

good morning to you,

good morning to you!

[telescope115]

Good morning to you as well, thanks again for posting these wonderful pictures!
They are like a window into the past!

Pete

[delchiante]

Great collection.
Number 12 is from a TV show or movie?

[Hebrews 11:6]

They are like a window into the past!

That's the fun of it. Pete. Glad you've caught the Spirit....

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yes, although I've no idea which. I just threw it in because it seemed to help tell the story.

Wait until we get to the Ten Commandments--you'll see plenty of Charlton Heston.

https://isgenesishistory.com/what-is-the-evidence-for-the-tower-of-babel/?mc_cid=45d9b0932e This was in my e-mail yesterday. Haven’t had time to watch. May be a good watch. Sending it because of your Tower of Babel paintings.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Not a burning issue for me.

[delchiante]

That movie I would recognize
:)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yul Brynner as Pharaoh.

[SisterK]

Much good art

#6 is my favorite as it has so much light

[Hebrews 11:6]

It’s nearly impossible not to find one or two favorites among two dozen. Something for everyone....

[delchiante]

Tough to picture Yul with a Cowboy hat when Pharaoh comes to mind..

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yul was the original baldy, developed for his long-running part in The King and I
