Abraham

You are Yahweh, the Elohim who chose Abram
    and took him from Ur of the Chaldeans
        and gave him the name Abraham.
You found that his heart was faithful to you.
You made a promise[a] to him to give the land of the Canaanites, Hittites,
    Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites to his descendants.
You kept your promise because you are fair.

The Exodus

You saw how our ancestors suffered in Egypt,
    and you heard them crying at the Red Sea.
