Apocalypse of Abraham

1 And thinking thus, I came to my father’s house and watered the ass and set out hay for it. I brought out the money and gave it into the hand of my father Terah. 4:2 When he saw it, he was glad, and he said, “Blessed by my gods are you, Abraham, for you gave honor to the gods, so that my labor was not in vain!” 4:3 And I declared and said to him, “Hear, Terah, [my] father! It is the gods who are blessed by you, since you are a god to them, since you have made them; since their blessing is perdition, and their power is vain. 4:4 They could not help themselves, how [then] will they help you or bless me? 4:5 [In fact] I was for you a kind god of this gain, since it was through my cleverness that I brought you the money for the smashed [gods].” 4:6 And when he heard my word, his anger was kindled against me, since I had spoken harsh words against his gods.
