If by 'tribe' you mean a 'tribe of Israel', Abraham was NOT from a 'tribe', since he was born before Israel existed.

Abraham was the tenth generation from Noah through Shem and was born 352 years after Noah's Flood, in 2018 B.C.E.

When Abraham was 100 and his wife Sarah was 90 years old, they had Isaac.

Isaac married Rebekah in 1878 BCE and had twin sons, Jacob and Esau, 20 years later.

Jacob, whose name was changed to 'Israel' by God, went on to have twelve sons, who became the paternal heads and leaders of these 12 families, or 'tribes of Israel'.

So Abraham was basically 'father' to ALL the tribes in a manner of speaking.

Why was the Genesis account NOT written by Abraham?

A:Much of the Book of Genesis concerns events that supposedly happened after the time of Abraham, so it was not possible for Abraham to have written this material. Even the stories about Abraham himself contain anachronisms that prove they were written many centuries after the time attributed to Abraham. For example, Genesis speaks of Abraham travelling from Ur of the Chaldees, although the Chaldees were an Arabian tribe that only settled in Mesopotamia around 800 BCE. The book speaks of Abraham travelling through the land of the Philistines and meeting their kings, yet the Philistines did not even arrive in the Levant until around 1250 BCE. Domesticated camels play an important part in the story of Abraham, although new research by two archaeologists at Tel Aviv University, published 2013 in Tel Aviv: Journal of the Institute of Archaeology of Tel Aviv University has established that camels were domesticated in the Levant sometime between 930 and 900 BCE.The biblical legend of Abraham arose in the first millennium BCE.
