Apocalypse of Abraham 1:1-9

¹On the day I was guarding the gods of my father Terah and the gods of my brother Nahor, while I was testing (to find out) which god is in truth the strongest,

²I (then) Abraham, at the time when my lot came, when I was completing the services, of my father Terah's sacrifice to his gods of wood, of stone, of gold, of

³silver, of copper, and of iron, having entered their temple for the service, I found a god named Marumath, carved from stone, fallen at the feet of the iron god

⁴Nakhin. And it came to pass, that when I saw it my heart was perplexed and I thought in my mind that I, Abraham, could not put it back in its place alone,

⁵because it was heavy, (being made) of a big stone. But I went and told my father,

⁶and he came in with me. And when we both lifted it to put it in its place, its head

⁷fell off, even while I was holding it by its head. And 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 axes and chiselsfrom the house. "And I brought them to him

⁹from the house. And 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.
