From the book Thy Kingdom Comes
Section 5. Abraham and the Legend, The Prodigal Son
In The Legends of the Jews Abraham’s ancestor Reu prophesied when Serug, his son, was born, “From this child he shall be born in the fourth generation that shall set his dwelling over the highest, and he shall be called perfect and spotless, and shall be the father of nations, and his covenant shall not be dissolved, and his seed shall be multiplied forever.”
There were stories of Nimrod attempting to prevent Abraham’s birth by causing midwives to abort male children and even kill them as infants. Abraham survived miraculously. Later the counselors and princes speak to Nimrod of Abraham, the child.
“Our king and our god! Wherefore art thou in fear by reason of a little child? There are myriad upon myriad of princes in thy realm, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and overseers without number. Let the pettiest of the princes go and fetch the boy and put him in prison.”
