Apocalypse of Abraham 4:1-6

1And thinking thus, I came to my father's house. And I watered the ass and gave him hay. And I took out the silver and placed it in the hand of my father Terah.

2And when he saw it, he was glad, and he said, "You are blessed. Abraham, by the god of my gods, since you have brought me the price for the gods, so that my

3labor was not (in) vain." And answering I said to him, "Listen, father Terah! The gods are blessing in you, because you are a god for them, because you made

4them, for their blessing is their perdition and their power is vain. They did not

5help themselves; how then can they help you or bless me? I was good for you in this transaction, for through my good sense I brought you the silver for the

6smashed (gods)." And when he heard my speech he became furiously angry with me, because I had spoken harsh words against his gods.
