עֲשָׂרָה נִסְיוֹנוֹת נִתְנַסָּה אַבְרָהָם אָבִינוּ עָלָיו הַשָּׁלוֹם וְעָמַד בְּכֻלָּם, לְהוֹדִיעַ כַּמָּה חִבָּתוֹ שֶׁל אַבְרָהָם אָבִינוּ עָלָיו הַשָּׁלוֹם:

Abraham, our father, was put to ten trials: [one — Ur Kasdim, where Nimrod cast him into the fiery furnace; two — "Go from your land"; three — "And there was a hunger"; four — "And the woman was taken to the house of Pharaoh"; five — the war of the kings; six — the covenant between the pieces, where he was shown the subjugation (of Israel) by the nations; seven — circumcision; eight — "And Avimelech sent and he took Sarah"; nine — "Drive out this maidservant and her son"; ten — the binding of Isaac], and he withstood them all, to apprise (men) of the great love of our father Abraham, may peace be upon him.
