 {{Main|Abraham}}
-El Morya was embodied as [[Abraham]] (c. 2100 <small>B.C.</small>), the first Hebrew patriarch, the prototype and progenitor of the twelve tribes of Israel. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all trace their origins back to Abraham. Although scholars once widely assumed that he was either a mythical figure or a nomadic or semi-nomadic Semite, archaeological finds since World War I have corroborated the picture of Abraham that is given in the Bible itself.

 In answer to the call of the L<small>ORD</small>, Abraham left the leading Sumerian city of [[Ur]], forsaking the culture and cults of Mesopotamia at a time when Sumerian civilization was at its height. The L<small>ORD</small> told him to journey to a land that he would show him and promised to make of him a great nation. The Book of Genesis describes him as a man rich in flocks and herds who commands a private army and is recognized by neighboring chieftains as a mighty prince.
