Midrash, Bereshith Rabbah, Chapter XXXVIII (38:15) Genesis (Noach)
AND HARAN DIED IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS FATHER TERAH (XI, 28). R. Hiyya said: Terah was a manufacturer of
idols. He once went away somewhere and left Abraham to sell them in his place. A man came and wished to buy
one. 'How old are you ?' Abraham asked him. 'Fifty years' was the reply. 'Woe to such man!' he exclaimed, 'you are
fifty years old and would worship a day old object!' At this he became ashamed and departed. On another occasion
a woman came with a plateful of flour and requested him, 'Take this and offer it to them.' So he took a stick, broke
them, and put the stick in the hand of the largest. When his father returned he demanded, 'What have you done to
them?' 'I cannot conceal it from you,' he rejoined. 'A woman came with a plateful of fine meal and requested me to offer
It to them. One claimed, "I must eat first," while another claimed, "I must eat first." Thereupon the largest arose, took the
stick, and broke them. 'Why do you make sport of me,' he cried out; 'have they then any knowledge!' 'Should not your ear
listen to what your mouth is saying he retorted. Thereupon he seized him and delivered him to Nimrod. 'Let us worship
the fire!' he [Nimrod] proposed. ... 'You are just bandying words,' he exclaimed; 'we will worship nought but the fire.
Behold, I will cast you into it, and let your God whom you adore come and save you from it.'
