VERSE: Gn21-33b

{LIST1} below, LISTS ALL VERSES WHERE ABRAHAM
CALLED PEOPLE TO GOD. This list shows that Gn21-33 is
different. It has the extra phrase "LORD OF THE WORLD"
Chazal used this difference to suggest that Abraham asked
people to Bless God.*1


{LIST1} {Verses where Abram called in the name of God. Note
        how only verse 1-21-33 has the extra phrase
                >LORD OF THE WORLD
        It is this blatant difference that suggests that
        Abraham encouraged people to recognize God}

1-13-4  And Abram called there in the name of God
1-12-8  And he    called       in the name of God
1-26-25 And he    called       in the name of God
1-21-33 And he    called       in the name of God Lord of the world
