When it comes to 'Abram the Hebrew' from Bereshiyth 14 we are not so much inspired by an epic concerning the virtus of a mighty warrior. Virtu we might associate with crusading subjects of chivalric literature throughout the middle ages; or with the Homeric heros of old - or Aristotle's model of a hero - of a brilliant military strategist - or even the virtu of Nimrod the *mighty hunter before the Lord* from the previous chapter, but rather *integrity* resolve, moral fortitude - the most exemplary qualities of a leader - of a father - the father of the house of the faithful. A *friend of God* (Isa 41.8; 2Chron 20.7; Jas 2.23). A person who inspires dedication (Gen 14.14 'chanik'). If the focus of the philosophers (Aristotle, Plato, Xenophon) deemed the people [demos] a product of their regime ('politiea' or 'constitution') as oriented around city-states - further east into the ancient past, we find in the narrative of Abraham how a people were a product of their house. Good study.
