1On the day when I was guarding the gods of my father Terah and the gods of my brother Nahor.
2While investigating which god was truly the strongest, I, Abraham, at the time when it fell to me by lot to serve.
3Having taken the gods of my father to clean them, I took his priest, who was of stone called Merumath.
4And I cleaned him and anointed him with oil, and placed him in his place.
5And when I carried him, he fell from my hands.
6And because of his fall, his head broke off and separated from him.
7And then I took another god called Barisat, who was made of bronze, larger than this one.
8And I restored him with a hammer and placed him in his place of honor.
9The next day, I found him fallen on the ground as well.
