not be better to worship water? It is mightier than fire, having the power
to quench it.' 'Worship the water then,' said Nimrod. Abram.
'Methinks it would be more reasonable to worship the clouds, since they
carry the waters, and pour them down on the earth.' Nimrod. 'Well,
then, worship the clouds, which, by thy own confession, have so great
power.' Abram. 'Nay, if power is to be the object of worship, the
preference should be given to the wind, which by its greater force drives the
clouds before it.' Nimrod. 'I see we shall never have done with this
babbler. Worship the wind, then, and we will forgive thy former
profeneness.' Abram. 'Be not angry, great king: I cannot worship the
fire, nor the water, nor the clouds, nor the wind, nor any of the things
that thou callest gods. The power they possess is derived from a Being
who has all power and mercy and love: the Creator of Heaven and
Earth, Him only will I worship.' 'Then,' said the king, 'since
thou hast refused to adore the fire, thou shalt know for thyself its mighty
force.' So Abram was thrown into a fiery furnace, but God delivered
him from its flames."—Bereshith Rabba.

Abram overcome, I will be on his side. And when all the

Abram, they said in their hearts, Is not Haran the brother
of Abram full of divinations and charms, and has he not
uttered spells over the fire that it should not burn his
brother? Immediately (min yad, out of hand) there fell
