Scofield Bible notes - The spiritual experience of Abraham was marked by 4 great crises, each of which involved a surrender of something naturally more dear.  These were:
(1) Country and kindred
(2) His nephew, Lot; especially dear to Abraham by nature, as a possible heir and as a fellow believer.  The completeness of Abraham's separation from one who, though a believer, was a "vessel unto dishonour".
(3) His own plan about Ishmael
(4)Isaac, "thy son, they only son Isaac, whom thou lovest"

Genesis 21:34

Genesis 21:33


And [Abraham] planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the  everlasting God.


Geneva Bible - And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and (n) called there on the Name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
(n) That is, he worshipped God in all points of true religion.

(Scofield Bible) - Everlasting God (Heb. El Olam)
(1) The Hebrew Olam is used in Scripture:
     (a) of secret or hidden things (e.g., Lev 5:2, "hidden"; 2 Kings 4:27, "Hid", Psalm 10:1, "hidest";
     (b)an indefinite time or age (Lev 25:32, "at any time"; Joshua 24:2, "in old time".
     Hence the word is used to express the eternal duration of the being of God (Psalms XC.2 "From everlasting to everlasting"), and is the Hebrew synonym of the Greek Aion, age or dispensation.

know not the true God
