The first reason for the creation of Israel was Biblical support. " The Lord said to Abram, ‘Go forth from your native land and your father's house to the land that I will show you."' (Doc A). The lord told Abram to leave his homeland and everything he knows to go to the land that Abram directed him to.
Abraham began his travel with his wife (Sarai), his nephew (Lot), all the possession that they could gather, and some of his people from Harran. As they arrived the lord promised the land to his offspring, right before his eyes a alter was built for his offspring. As the altar was

God decided to test Abraham and told him to take his only son, Isaac, to the land of Moriah and offer him as a sacrifice. Abraham followed God’s instructions and as he was about to kill his only son, God stopped him because He now realized that Abraham is a God fearing man. God said “By myself I have sworn, says the Lord: Because you have not withheld your son, your only son, I will indeed bless you, and I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven and as the send that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of their enemies, and by your offspring shall all the nations of the earth gain blessing for themselves, because you have obeyed my voice” (Genesis 22:16-19). God called Abraham to be a blessing unto

In Genesis 12;1 G-d says, “the lord said to Avram, go forth from your birthplace, and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you,”(Genesis 1).

The story Holes was about Stanley Yelnats, who was bullied in school because of his weight, and was later accused of stealing a pair of shoes from Clyde Livingston. Since he was supposedly cursed by his "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather,” Stanley was then sent to juvenile, Camp Green Lake, for stealing the shoes. When Stanley arrives at Camp Green Lake, he is told that everyday he has to dig five by five feet holes, using their shovels as a measuring stick. I really found this book very interesting, because of the unexpected plot twits and what Stanley and Zero, later on in the story, did. The author made me want to continue reading the book, because I wanted to figure out why they had to dig holes every day.

Emily told me that the test was easy but Maci and Kylee told me that it was hard. Since they both told me different things I don’t know what to think. I need to do good on this test so that I can keep up the grade that I have, which is an A. The test are really the only thing in the grade book besides our section review and they vary between 5-10 points. With the test and section review being the only
God promised Abraham that He would bless him, and bless all the nations through him. He also promised Abraham land due to his obedience and faith in God. When Abraham obeyed and trusted God, he was credited with righteousness and faith, and consequently delivered from sin by the Lord (Gen
