Bible Verses About the God of Abraham: 12

"That night the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.""

— Genesis 26:24 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about the God of Abraham want Scripture on Elohei Avraham — the LORD naming himself the God of Abraham to Isaac, to Abraham's servant, and in later covenant prayer — not only a generic faith inventory, and not the bush formula already held on Holy One of Jacob. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about the God of Jacob, Bible verses about the Holy One of Jacob, Bible verses about the God of Israel, Bible verses about the Mighty One of Jacob, Bible verses about the rock of Israel, Bible verses about the living God, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about Christ, Bible verses about worship, Bible verses about salvation, and Bible verse of the day. God of Abraham here means the Elohei Avraham covenant Name — distinct from generic faith lists and from Exodus 3 inventory on the holy-one-of-jacob page. In the same verse Jacob pairs "the God of Abraham" with "the Fear of Isaac"; see Bible verses about the Fear of Isaac.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, אֱלֹהִים elohim (Strong's H430; Bible Hub H430) in construct אֱלֹהֵי elohei means "God of…"; אַבְרָהָם avraham (Strong's H85; Bible Hub H85) is Abraham. Genesis 26:24 joins them — I am the God of your father Abraham. This list tracks that God-of-Abraham Name and related covenant / servant-prayer / return-to-the-God-of-Abraham speech, not every faith-page verse and not Exodus 3:6 / 3:15 (those sit on holy-one-of-jacob). (Among the three new patriarchal pages, the full bush triad stays off this run; Stephen's Acts 7:32 retelling appears here as Abraham-fathers speech without duplicating the Exodus 3 leads.)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Genesis 26 presses the Lord appearing to Isaac with "I am the God of thy father Abraham" — do not fear, for I am with thee (Bible Hub MHC Genesis 26; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Genesis 26; Bible Hub MHC Genesis 17; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Genesis 17; Bible Hub MHC Genesis 24; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Genesis 24). (Faith, Holy One of Jacob, and God of Jacob live on those pages; this list centers Elohei Avraham.)

Questions people ask

What is a good Bible verse about the God of Abraham?

Genesis 26:24 (I am the God of your father Abraham) is the clear starting place; Genesis 24:12 and Psalm 47:9 press the same Elohei Avraham Name in prayer and praise.

How do Bible verses about the God of Abraham differ from faith alone or Holy One of Jacob?

Faith lists track believing / trust inventory across Scripture; Holy One of Jacob holds Isaiah 29:23 and the Exodus 3 bush triad. This list centers Elohei Avraham — God named God of Abraham in covenant speech to Isaac and in later prayer.

What Hebrew words sit under God of Abraham?

Elohim / elohei (H430) — God of… — and avraham (H85) — Abraham.

Why isn't Exodus 3:6 on this page?

Exodus 3:6 / 3:15 already lead the holy-one-of-jacob inventory; this hub owns Genesis 26:24 and related Abraham-Name speech so the pages share zero leads.

Where should I start if I only read one page?

Start here for God of Abraham; open faith for believing inventory; open God of Jacob for Elohei Ya'akov fortress speech.
