At the end of Shem's line, is Abram, a Mesopotamian man who is called by God to leave his people to start his own descendants who will receive the promises of God. Perhaps, the most pivotal moments in the Old Testament, Abram is promised to be blessed in order that he will be a blessing to the world. It is through this blessing that God's plan for humanity will take place. Abraham believes God, and God declares him righteous on top of the blessing that will come in the future. With the promises of blessing also come a prophecy of slavery and bondage, which will ultimately result in the judgment of Egypt but also the Amorites.
