Se paske Abraram te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li te obeyi lè Bondye te rele l' la. Li pati pou peyi Bondye tapral ba li pou pòsyon eritaj pa li. Li leve, li kite peyi l' la, san l' pa t' konnen ki bò li taprale.

Paske li te gen konfyans nan Bondye, se anba tant twal li te rete. Li t'ap viv nan peyi Bondye te pwomèt li a tankou yon etranje ki depasaj. Se konsa Izarak ak Jakòb te fè tou, yo menm ki te resevwa menm pwomès la nan men Bondye.
