in which God makes a covenant with Abram promising to make his ancestors a great nation. God changes his name to Abraham. Abraham has a child with Hagar, and names him Ishmael. God then promises Abraham's barren wife, Sarah, that she will have a child.
There was a pious
Abram of UR
Whose paternity
prospects were seemingly poor.
G-d sent him forth to
Canan,
Bid brit milah to be
done,
And blessed Abraham
with two sons, not one.
