Judaism is believed to be the result of the covenant between Abraham and God, with Abraham being considered the father of the Israelites as well as the religion.. The Jewish religion believes that God called on Abraham to come to Haran, where he made an offer to him, saying that if he abandoned his home and family, then God would bless him and crown him as the founder of a great nation. The covenant established between Abraham and God also included Abraham's descendents throughout their generations, meaning that the covenant was everlasting.
