1On the day I was guarding the Gods of my father 1 Terah and the Gods of my brother Nahor, while I was testing which God is in truth mighthy,
2I , Abraham, at the time when my lot came, when I was completing the services2, of my father Terah’s sacrifice to his Gods of wood, of stone, of gold,
3of silver, of copper, and of iron, having entered their temple for the service, I found a God named Marumath 3 carved out of stone, fallen forward at the feet of the God iron Nahon.
4And it came to pass, that when I saw it my heart was perplexed, and I considered in my mind that I, Abraham, could not put it back in its place by myself
5because it was heavy, of a large stone. So I went and told my father,
6and he entered with me, and when we both lifted it to put it in its place, its head fell off, while I was holding it by its head.
7And it came to pass, when my father saw that the head of his God Marumath had fallen, he said to me: “Abraham!
8And I said: “Here I am!”, and he said to me: “Bring me the axe and chisels from the house. “And I brought them to him
9from the house, so he cut another Marumath from another stone, without a head, and he smashed the head that had fallen off Marumath and the rest of Marumath.4
