The only reason I said "or anyone like him" is to account for the real possiblity that Abraham is a fictional literary character, which even Nibley has acknowledged. So I meant any ancient Hebrew patriarch who may have been a model for Abraham. Kind of like Ambrosius Aurelianus being a model for King Arthur, or Attila for some characters in Nordic mythology.
