Midrash sobre Pirkei Avot 5:3
עֲשָׂרָה נִסְיוֹנוֹת נִתְנַסָּה אַבְרָהָם אָבִינוּ עָלָיו הַשָּׁלוֹם וְעָמַד בְּכֻלָּם, לְהוֹדִיעַ כַּמָּה חִבָּתוֹ שֶׁל אַבְרָהָם אָבִינוּ עָלָיו הַשָּׁלוֹם:
Abraham, nuestro padre, fue sometido a diez juicios: [uno —Ur Kasdim, donde Nimrod lo arrojó al horno de fuego; dos—"Vete de tu tierra"; Tres—"Y había hambre"; cuatro—"Y la mujer fue llevada a la casa de Faraón"; cinco—la guerra de los reyes; seis—el pacto entre las piezas, donde las naciones le mostraron la subyugación (de Israel); Siete—circuncisión; ocho—"Y Avimelec envió y tomó a Sara"; nueve—"Echa a esta criada y a su hijo"; diez— la atadura de Isaac], y él los resistió a todos, para dar a conocer (hombres) el gran amor de nuestro padre Abraham, que la paz sea con él.

THE TRIALS OF ABRAHAM
OUR father Abraham was tried with ten trials, || and he stood firm in them all. The first trial was when our father Abraham was born; all the magnates of the kingdom and the magicians sought to kill him, and he was hidden under the earth for thirteen years without seeing sun or moon. After thirteen years he went forth from beneath the earth, speaking the holy language; and he despised idols and held in abomination the graven images, and he trusted in the shadow of his Creator, and said: "Blessed is the man who trusts in thee" (Ps. 84:12).
