Why does God devote so much space in the Old Testament regarding Abraham?

Because Abraham was a central figure in the establishment of his covenant. He (GOD) promised Abraham that he would establish a covenant (special relationship) with his future children (his seed). God also promised that the MESSIAH would be of his seed.
( Gen 12:2; 17: 2-9, Isaiah 41:8)

∙ 7y agoThe Book of Genesis devotes considerable space to Abraham, and he is mentioned in several other books of the Old Testament, as well as the New Testament. However, much of this material was not added until after the Babylonian Exile, when the religious leaders began to see Abraham as totally central to Judaism.
There are many stories about Abraham, and some of the most popular are no even in The Bible. Bruce Feiler (Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths) says probably less than one per cent of the stories told about Abraham appear in the Bible. The vast majority did not even come into circulation until hundreds, even thousands of years after he would have lived.
Each addition to the Abraham legend increased his perceived importance as a founder of the Hebrew nation. And each time that perceived importance rose, there was more reason to add to the legend.
