His life is chronicled from <a href="/genesis/11-27.htm">Genesis 11:27</a> through <a href="/genesis/25-10.htm">Genesis 25:10</a>. Abraham's journey of faith began when God called him to leave his homeland and go to a land that God would show him (<a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1</a>). His life is marked by significant events such as the covenant with God (Genesis 15), the birth of Isaac (Genesis 21), and the test of faith with the binding of Isaac (Genesis 22). Abraham's life exemplifies obedience and trust in God's promises.<p><b>a total of 175 years.</b><br>The lifespan of 175 years is significant in the context of the patriarchal age, where long lifespans were common. This period is characterized by the gradual decrease in human longevity post-Flood, as seen in the genealogies from <a href="/genesis/5.htm">Genesis 5 and 11</a>. Abraham's age at death reflects God's blessing and fulfillment of His promise to make Abraham a great nation (<a href="/genesis/12-2.htm">Genesis 12:2</a>). His long life allowed him to witness the birth of Isaac and the continuation of God's covenant through his descendants.
