1 This was my life saved by my father Teraḥ, and he took me with my mother, Amthelo, and my nurse, Eḏna, into a cave hidden in the mountains some distance from the city of Ur where he secreted us and visited us each month at the New Moon.
2 For my father informed the sovereign that he went each month on the New Moon to a spot qodesh to his family deity.
3 For in the reign of Nimroḏ, each man worshipped mighty ones of his own make, mighty ones of wood and stone, each after the imagination of his own heart.
4 I dwelled in the cave with my mother, Amthelo, and my nurse, Eḏna, and knew no other man except my father, Teraḥ, and my elder brothers, Haran and Naḥor, who accompanied my father on his visits.
