BEATIFUL!
So, in a sense it migjt be fair to say, both that He made them into who they became with the letter heh, and that (from being all-knowing) seeing the future, making the world yet, because Abram would heed His calling? But does this imply He created it from knowledge of a future Abram, or that he created it exactly for Abram (all past history included as written)?
I have also looked into the ancestry of Abraham and the number 9 comes up a lot, as do names like Egypt, which imply fatherhood would more appropriately be interpreted a ancestry or father/ancestor. So Noah is the 9th gen from Adam , Terah the 9th gen from Noa and Abraham the 10th. Is it that the number nine implies fullness and Abraham (number 10) a leap to a higher level (of numbers, since the number 0 wasn't invented yet)? From a certain perspective then, it seems the whole genealogy for Abraham would have been made explicitly with him in mind. But would Jews before 2000 years ago have thought of it that way?
