Jewish patriarch left out of Alhambra's reconstruction (7)
I believe the answer is:
abraham
'jewish patriarch' is the definition.
'Abraham' can be an answer for 'patriarch' (biblical patriarch). I am not certain of the 'jewish' bit.
'left out of alhambra's reconstruction' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'out of' suggests deleting specific letters ('out of' can mean no longer having).
'reconstruction' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'reconstructions' mean this).
'alhambra' with 'l' removed is 'ahambra'.
'ahambra' with letters rearranged gives 'ABRAHAM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abraham that I've seen before include "Bar a ham from playing the Biblical patriarch" , "Old Testament patriarch" , "Isaac's father" , "First patriarch and ancestor of the Hebrews" , "Founder of the Hebrew people" .)
