1
And my father answered the king saying, My lord king, I am guilty.
2
For because of my tender feelings toward my son, I did substitute for him the son of my concubine who was born on the same night.
3
The king's wrath mounted and in his anger he cried, Who advised thee to do this thing?
4
Surely that man shall die.
5
My father, being terrified at the king's anger said, It was my son Haran who so advised me.
6
Now Haran had not advised my father of anything, but the Spirit of the Lord had wrought upon my father that he was loathe to give me up to the king.
7
Nevertheless, Haran was privy to what my father had done and Haran was one of the believers in the true God of heaven, but his heart was not firm nor his faith sure.
8
Wherefore, Haran said in his heart, If Abram be delivered from the furnace, then shall I know that the God of Abram is indeed the true God.
9
Wherefore, Haran wavered in his faith and his confidence waxed not great in the Most High God, but my confidence was secure, for I knew that it rested upon the Rock of my salvation and that the word of God faileth not.
