I
No one likes to move.
But go where I will show you
and you will be great.

II
This will not be the
last time our family ends up
in Egypt. Beware.

III
Dueling shepherds send
Lot and Abram down two paths.
One to Evil-town.

IV
Family reunites
after mean old kings battle.
Abram saves the day.

V
What good is treasure
with no heirs? As many as
stars in sky, God says.

VI
Unwanted son founds
another nation. Abram
gets God in his name.

VII
You’d think it’s too late
at ninety-nine years. But no.
Time to call the mohel.
