Abraham and his wife, Sarah, have a son, in 2066BC, whose named Issac. Issac and his wife, Rebecca, have two sons named, in 2006BC, Jacob and Esau. Jacob with his two wives, Leah and Rachel, and his wives two handmaidens Bilhah and Zilpah, fathers a total of 12 sons and one daughter, sometime around 1921BC. Later on, his named is changed by God into Israel and the families of his 12 children become the Twelve Tribes of Israel, which later on they became known as the Israelites. The Old Testament

There is Nothing Too Hard For God The birth of Ishmael was the result of Abraham’s attempt to assist God. (Genesis 16) Thirteen years after the birth of Ishmael (Abraham was ninety-nine years old), the LORD repeated His promise to Abraham and made clear that Sarah would bear the child of promise. (Genesis 17 & 21) The fact that “Abraham fell on his face and laughed” is an indication that he did not laugh at God as certain people have thought; rather, he laughed at the idea of a son being born

family returned, but then 17 years later Jacob died at the age of 147. Joseph continued to live in Egypt with his family but then died at the age of 110. Before he died he promised that God will take his family to the Promised Land that was promised to Isaac, Abraham, and Jacob. He asked them to take his body with them. They embalmed his body and put it in a

Sacrifice is the story of sacrifice of Isaac by the father Abraham; when god ordered Abraham to sacrifice Isaac and he was ready to do so when an angel came down and held the hand of Abraham and did not let him sacrifice Isaac. Jews belief that it was the test of Abraham and it was his time to proof his superior love towards god and that test he passed but god did not let him sacrifice Isaac. Seculars ask many questions on this story though; what kind of god is that who ordered Abraham to sacrifice

Abraham’s given name was Abram in the beginning until God changed his name (Gen.17:5). He was the father of Isaac and Ishmael and uncle of Lot. The First of the Old Testament patriarchs, Abraham is mention 284 times in 265 verses of the NRSV. Lived either in the 22nd to 20th centuries BC (in the transition from Early Bronze IV to Middle Bronze I), or the 19th to 17th centuries BC (Middle Bronze II)—roughly a millennium before Homer. Abraham is the main figure or protagonist in the beginning of

Genesis 16 tells the story leading up to the birth of Ishmael. The story consists of two main parts. The conflicts between the three characters, Abram, Sarai, and Hagar, make up the first part of the story. The second part consists of the discussion between Hagar and God. Abram and his wife, Sarai, have had difficulty producing a child. Therefore, Sarai offers Hagar, her Egyptian slave-girl, to Abram. Eventually Hagar becomes pregnant. Upon this realization, Hagar begins to look with contempt

In the Bible Scripture Genesis 21-22, God tested Abraham by requesting him to go and offer his Son that he loves, Isaac as a burnt offering to Him (God) upon one of the mountains. This particular request is immediately questionable: Who is this God? Why would he ask someone to go and offer not just his son, but the one that he loves as a burnt offering? Is that not sheer wickedness? What was Abraham’s response and why? Genesis 22:3 says “and Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his

According to traditional Old Testament historians, Abraham became the first human to establish a covenant with God and with his second son Isaac and grandson Jacob they became the first of three Patriarchs of Judaism and Christianity. Abraham, original name Abram or Avram, along with his wife Sarah, original name Sarai, became the "Father of the Multitudes and Father of the Israelites." Sarah's hand-maiden Hagar, gave birth to Abraham's first son Ishmael who later became a prominent prophet and

narratives about Ishmael; however, his role is significant and different in each text. The most commonly noted distinction is that the Torah views Ishmael as the “other” son”, similar to how the Quranic retelling deems Isaac as the “other” son. In understanding Abraham-Ishmael-Hagar and Abraham-Isaac-Sarai, it is crucial to look beyond Genesis 16, meaning biblical references outside this chapter will be included in this analysis. In addition, the Quran lacks in chronological organization, which indicates that

In the book of Genesis and Exodus, we find many similarities between Abraham and Moses. Their relationship to God can be compared since they share the same faith, obligation to comply to their God are, both chosen by God and grow to be the most devoted servants of god regardless of their doubt and challenges. When it comes to comparing Abraham and Moses their faith towards God is their greatest similarity. Abraham and Moses prove their faith to God by following his commands. In fact, when Abraham
