The Book of Jasher 51

¹🔗nd when Abram saw all these things his anger was kindled against his father, and he hastened and took a hatchet in his hand, and came unto the chamber of the gods, and he broke all his father's gods.

²🔗 And when he had done breaking the images, he placed the hatchet in the hand of the great god which was there before them, and he went out; and Terah his father came home, for he had heard at the door the sound of the striking of the hatchet; so Terah came into the house to know what this was about.

³🔗 And Terah, having heard the noise of the hatchet in the room of images, ran to the room to the images, and he met Abram going out.

⁴🔗 And Terah entered the room and found all the idols fallen down and broken, and the hatchet in the hand of the largest, which was not broken, and the savory meat which Abram his son had made was still before them.

⁵🔗 And when Terah saw this his anger was greatly kindled, and he hastened and went from the room to Abram.

⁶🔗 And he found Abram his son still sitting in the house; and he said to him, What is this work thou hast done to my gods?

⁷🔗 And Abram answered Terah his father and he said, Not so my lord, for I brought savory meat before them, and when I came nigh to them with the meat that they might eat, they all at once stretched forth their hands to eat before the great one had put forth his hand to eat.

⁸🔗 And the large one saw their works that they did before him, and his anger was violently kindled against them, and he went and took the hatchet that was in the house and came to them and broke them all, and behold the hatchet is yet in his hand as thou seest.

⁹🔗 And Terah's anger was kindled against his son Abram, when he spoke this; and Terah said to Abram his son in his anger, What is this tale that thou hast told? Thou speakest lies to me.

¹⁰🔗 Is there in these gods spirit, soul or power to do all thou hast told me?
