Question

According to the Hebrew Bible, who was the recipient of this promise?​

Answer 1

The promise:

"You shall be the father of a multitude of nations. . . . I will make nations of you, and kings shall come forth from you. And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you. And I will give to you, and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings [short stay], all the land of Canaan."

Correct answer:

Abraham.

Explanation:

Abraham in the Bible, the Hebrew ancestor from whom all Jews pursue their relationship (Genesis 11:27–25:10), led by God to start his individual realm for a different country. In Genesis 22 he is directed by God to dedicate his son Isaac as a test of loyalty, a call later dismissed.

The story of the Jewish people starts in Bronze Age eras in the Middle East when God declared a migrant head named Abram that he would be the ancestor of a noble people if he acted as God commanded him.
