Apocalypse of Abraham

1 And as I was thinking about these things, here is what happened to my father Terah in the courtyard of his house: The voice of the Mighty One came down from heaven in a stream of fire, saying and calling, “Abraham, Abraham!” 8:2 And I said, “Here am I!” 8:3 And he said, “In the wisdom of your heart you are searching for the God of gods and the Creator. I am he! 8:4 Leave Terah your father, and leave the house, so that you too are not slain for the sins of your father’s house!” 8:5 And I went out. And it came to pass as I was going out, that I had not even gotten as far as going beyond the doors of the courtyard, 8:6 when the sound of thunder came forth and burned him and his house and everything in the house, down to the ground [to a distance of] forty cubits.
