There were at least seven times when God spoke audibly to Abraham over a span of approximately 30 years: • When He instructed him to leave for Canaan and after he arrived (Gen.12 - spoke twice)
• When He promised him the entire land of Canaan (Gen 13)
• When He assured him he would have a biological heir (Gen 15)
• When He instituted circumcision (Gen 17)
• When He was about to judge Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen 18-19)
• When He encouraged him to send Hagar and Ishmael away (Gen 21)
• When He tested him with the sacrifice of Isaac (Gen 22) These messages were specific and personal. They required a very direct means of communication, such as the audibly spoken word and the information is pertinent for every following generation. Some would suggest that God still speaks in this way today. If so, then we would expect the message to be very personal and to have huge implications for the greater population. That was the case with Abraham. When Abraham left for Egypt and returned (Gen. 12 & 13), committed adultery (Gen. 16) and lied to Abimelech (Gen. 20) God said nothing because Abraham knew better. Nothing needed to be said.

According to Jewish tradition why did God bring Abraham into His covenant?
God created the world for righteousness, not just for eating, going to work and sleeping. There were righteous people before Abraham's time, but not one of them came near to his superlative level of piety (Talmud, Avot ch.5). Only after Abraham had served God for many decades, did God speak to him and bring him into His covenant.See also the Related Links.1) A biography of Abraham2) Jewish history timeline
