The LORD had said to Abram, "... I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
-Genesis 12:1-3
Abraham wasn't a country. ..
try again sunni-----you should try reading some decent literature.
A wide spread convention in ancient times thruout the
literate people of the Mediteranean area included describing
a NATION by the name of its founder. Abraham as a
"nation" would be the nation founded by Abraham---to
wit the HEBREWS---and eventually----ISRAEL (which is
the given name of JACOB ---the grandson of Abraham ---
the father of 12 sons which name the tribes of Israel
Remember? Even in the Odyssey-----various peoples
are named according to some ancient past KING (the Odyssey
is that book you forgot to read when you were in the ninth grade---
so the night before the test you read the classic comic)
