Lech Lecha - “Go Forth” / Vayera - “And He Appeared”
Genesis 12:1 – 17:27 / Genesis 18:1 - 22:24

Abram is called out from his home by God, to ‘go forth’ to a land which will be given to him and his descendants, who will become as numerous as the stars. Accompanied by his wife and nephew Lot, they journey to the land of Canaan, where Abram builds altars to God.

Soon after, a famine forces Abram to depart for Egypt, where his wife Sarai is taken to Pharaoh’s palace. Believing that they are safe, having present themselves as brother and sister, rather than husband and wife, un unwittingly causing a divine plague to prevent the Pharaoh from taking her to be his own. Shocked and upset, He nevertheless sends Abram and Sarai away with great wealth to compensate them both (something that would happen a second time later with the king Abimelek).

Back in the land of Canaan, Lot separates from Abram and settles in Sodom. Here, he is taken captive during a local war, so Abram sets out with a small band of trained men to rescue him. After the armies are defeated, the king of Salem, Melchizedek, comes out to greet Abram with an offering of bread and wine.

God seals the covenant with an ancient ritual and the holy land is promised to them as an eternal heritage. Abram’s and Sarai’s names are changed by God to Abraham and Sarah. God appears to Abraham with two other mysterious figures, promising them a child. After this, they leave to pronounce judgement on Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham pleads with God to spare the city for the few righteous people that may remain, but there were not enough to save the city. Judgment is cast, but God provides a way of escape for Lot and his family.

God requests the sacrifice of Abraham’s firstborn and promised son, as a sign of faith. Isaac is bound, ready for the sacrifice, but a voice from Heaven calls him to stop and a ram, caught in a bush behind them, is offered in the place of Isaac.
