Detailed explanation-1: -Jews regard Abraham (as he was later called) as the first Patriarch of the Jewish people. Abraham was the first person to teach the idea that there was only one God; before then, people believed in many gods. Ironically, Abraham’s father, Terach, had made his living selling idols of various gods.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Jewish tradition, Abraham is called Avraham Avinu ( ), “our father Abraham, ‘’ signifying that he is both the biological progenitor of the Jews and the father of Judaism, the first Jew.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is Abraham best known for? Abraham is best known for the depth of his faith. In the book of Genesis he obeys unquestioningly the commands of God and is ready to follow God’s order to sacrifice Isaac, a test of his faith, though in the end God substitutes a ram for his son.
Detailed explanation-4: -Terah or Terach (Hebrew: Teraḥ) is a biblical figure in the Book of Genesis. He is listed as the son of Nahor and father of the patriarch Abraham.
