Apocalypse of Abraham 8:1-6

¹And it cane to pass as I was thinking things like these with regard to my father Terah in the court of my house, the voice of the Mighty One came down from

²the heavens in a stream of fire, saying and calling, "Abraham, Abraham!" And

³I said, "Here I am." And he said, "You are searching of the God of gods, the

⁴Creator, in the understanding of your heart. I am he. Go out from Terah, your father, and go out of the house, that you too may not be slain in the sins of your

⁵father's house." And it came to pass as I went out-I was not

⁶yet outside the entrance of the court- that the sound of a great thunder came and burned him and his house and everything in his house, down to the ground, forty cubits.
