  6. The Importance of Abraham • Known as the Father of the Hebrews • A shepherd from Ur • Made a covenant with Yahweh (God) • Took the Hebrews from Ur to Canaan

  7. Abraham’s Covenant • Covenant = an agreement between God and people • Abraham agreed to move to Canaan and worship the one true God, and in return Yahweh promised that his descendants would be safe and prosper • This is why Canaan is referred to as the “Promised Land”

  8. Yahweh • Yahweh is the God of the Hebrews • The belief in only one true God is known as monotheism • Yahweh is not tied to a place, but is all-being and everywhere

  9. The Promised Land (First Try) • Located on the Eastern Edge of the Mediterranean • Occupied by the Phoenicians • Also known as Palestine • Near the modern day countries of Israel, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan

  10. Life in Canaan • After moving to Canaan, Abraham and the Hebrew people experience a Famine • Famine is an extreme scarcity of food that leads to widespread hunger • Because of this Famine, the Hebrews leave Canaan for Egypt
