____ (According to a midrash) Abraham was thirteen years old when he smashed his father’s idols.

____ Adam and Eve were the fi rst married couple.

____ Abraham bought a cave so that he could bury his dead wife Sarah.

____ On the eighth day after he was born, Abraham’s son was circumcised.

____ Moses gave three major sermons to the Jewish people when he was one hundred-and twenty years old.
