"The pharaoh whose rule (1836-1818 B.C.E.) spanned the time in which Abraham may have dwelled in Canaan." [Isbouts: Biblical World, p. 55] "The traditional dating of Abraham's lifetime is 2166-1991 BC . . . [Bauer: Ancient World, p. 127] " 17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.17:8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. 17:9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. [Genesis] According to the Qur’an (…), Abram—Ibrahim, in the Arabic spelling—was the first to worship Allah, the one God, rather than the stars, the moon, or the sun. When grown, Ishmael went with Ibrahim down into Arabia, to the city of Mecca on the southwestern corner of the peninsula, and together they built the Ka’ba, the first house for the worship of Allah." [Bauer: Ancient World, p. 135-6]
