Then spake God himself to Gabriel, and
said, “I am one in My world, and so is this man, who was the first to
declare the unity of My name in the world.
It is therefore, meet that I the One should go down and rescue him
who is also one in his generation. It
is pleasing for Me to descend and rescue him from the fiery furnace.”
At that moment God descended in His glory and in His strength, and
delivered him from the furnace of fire. He
brought him forth without a blemish. When
all the nations saw that Abraham was thus delivered from the burning furnace,
they forthwith sanctified the name of God, and some of them were made proselytes
through the means of Abraham our ancestor.
