Abraham's marriage to his concubine Keturah Gen is mentioned after Sarah's death at years Gen Abraham's age when the sons of the concubines were born is not stated. Abraham would have been about years old when Terah died in his th year of life. This places the death of Terah just prior to the death of Sarah at refer Gen and Gen This is the time that news came from Haran concerning the family of Nahor.
The indication is that this news came as a result of a messenger being sent from Haran to advise Abraham of the demise of his father Terah. The father in Acts , was not Terah! The term 'father' in Hebrew has a wider meaning than it does in English. In Hebrew the term can also be applied to one's grandfather or great grandfather etc, etc. Due to the longer life spans of Abraham's ancestors there are a number of possibilities. However, only the death of one of these ancestors is significant enough to warrant determining when Abraham would be called to enter the Promised Land.
Indeed, I see you and your people to be in manifest error. A non-convincing comment is made on this subject: Azar is the uncle of Abraham and the in the Arab custom uncle is called the father. The fact that a subject is different in the Qur'an and the Torah does not mean that it is a contradiction. First of all, holy books other than the Holy Qur'an could not be preserved as they were sent down. For this reason, the fact that a subject in the Qur'an does not appear exactly in the Torah, the Gospel and the Psalms does not mean it is a contradiction, but that the ones other than the Qur'an have changed.
This feature means that the Qur'an is a book which supervises the previous books, corrects the mistakes that have been put in by people and confirms the truths. As the well-known scholars state, the fact that there is no error in any verse of the Qur'an shows that it is the word of Allah, who has the infinite knowledge. The names of Azar and Terah also have many interpretations and explanations other than that. This means that there may be misunderstandings about such issues due to lack of information and other reasons.
The origin of the word Azar is controversial. Hasan al-Mustafawi, I, On the other hand it has been said that the word azar is a distorted version of the word alizar in Hebrew Horowitz, p.
Woolley, p. Several comments have been made to explain this difference. According to some Western researchers, this difference stems from Eusebius' Historia Ecclesiastica. Eusebius called Abraham's father as Athar, which was distorted from Tharra, and this word got to the Islamic world in this way.
IA, II, Horovitz, p. By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God.
Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. And it was not without an oath. For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath,. He is without father or mother or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest forever. For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,.
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything.
He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace. See how great this man was to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils! And those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, though these also are descended from Abraham.
We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness. Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins just as he does for those of the people. And no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was. Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.
Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,. For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.
Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
