介绍（中）	这个面板可能是用来做缓冲套的。它描绘了《创世纪》中讲述的圣经族长亚伯拉罕的生活场景。中心场景显示，亚伯拉罕被一群天使告知，他的妻子萨拉将为他生一个儿子，尽管她年事已高。其他场景包括亚伯拉罕用以实玛利放逐他的仆人夏甲和她的儿子（左下角），以及亚伯拉罕试图牺牲萨拉的儿子艾萨克，这是上帝命令他做的测试他的信仰的行为（右上角）《圣经》中的叙述是十七世纪绘画刺绣中极受欢迎的主题，还有许多其他描绘亚伯拉罕生活的例子。博物馆实例的图像来源于Maarten de Vos之后的雕刻，该雕刻首次出现在Gerard de Jode 1579年出版的插图圣经《叙词表》（Thesaurus Sacrarum Historiarum Veteris Testamenti）中，该书于安特卫普出版。这些雕刻也是其他圣经刺绣的灵感来源，例如大卫和拔示巴的故事，以及大卫和阿比盖尔的故事（见MMA 64.101.1325）。
介绍（英）	This panel was probably intended as a cushion cover. It illustrates scenes from the life of the biblical patriarch Abraham, as recounted in the Book of Genesis. The central scene shows Abraham being informed by a host of angels that his wife Sarah will bear him a son, despite her advanced age. Other scenes include Abraham banishing his servant Hagar and her son by Abraham, Ishmael (lower left corner), and Abraham's attempted sacrifice of Sarah's son Isaac, the act he was ordered by God to perform as a test of his faith (upper right corner). Biblical narratives were extremely popular subjects for seventeenth-century pictorial embroideries, and a number of other examples depicting the life of Abraham exist. The imagery of the Museum's example is derived from engravings after Maarten de Vos which first appeared in Gerard de Jode's 1579 illustrated bible Thesaurus Sacrarum Historiarum Veteris Testamenti, published in Antwerp. These engravings were also the inspiration for other biblical embroideries, such as the story of David and Bathsheba, and David and Abigail (see MMA 64.101.1325).
