God selected Abraham to be the father of the His people. The bible does not directly state why God selected him, but after reading scripture one can conclude that God selected Abraham due to his great faith. Abraham’s life lends itself as an example to all who desire to walk with God. EARLY LIFE Abraham was one of three sons born to Terah in the city of Ur of the Chaldeans.

in the Bible says that after the flood, and the death of Noah, 350 years after Noah's Ark, a man is born and his name is Abraham. God calls upon Abraham living in Haran, a city in upper Mesopotamia, with his father Terah, and his wife, Sarai, or (Sarah). God makes a covenant with Abram, promising to make Abram’s descendants into a great nation. After hearing this from God, Abram agrees to leave his home and move southwest to Canaan with his wife and his nephew, Lot, to a land which God has promised

understood in the light of Isaac being the rightful heir to Abraham’s inheritance and legacy through the abandonment and expulsion of Hagar and Ishmael. At first glance, the story portrays Hagar as an outsider, an Egyptian servant, who is beneath Sarah, the mistress; thus, this difference in position justifies Hagar and Ishmael’s abandonment from Abraham’s house. A closer look at the story evokes the reader’s sympathy for Hagar and Ishmael’s unfair treatment since Ishmael is the firstborn son. This

Although the Bible was written thousands of years ago, the lessons expressed by God are just as relevant in today’s world. The Bible, specifically the Book of Genesis, consists of stories that seem outdated, however, these stories illustrate moral lessons that will always be applicable in life.

My shampoo scent was green apples! I always used deodorant! I didn’t even have cheese in my lunch!” “Oh wait

Panel number 4 of Ghiberti’s Gates of Paradise on the Baptistery de San Giovanni depicts Abraham and Isaac. On this panel the story of Abraham and Isaac is told. As is seen by just glancing at the panel, there seems to be a man up on a mountain, about to strike down on a man who is bent over on his knees. There is also an angel right above them. Below the mountain, there are two men having a conversation in a lounged position, and one of their donkeys is standing nearby. On the other side, there

Yishamel and Sarah and Yitzchak. Avraham and Hagar had Yishmael while Sarah was still barren. Finally, towards the end of their lives, they had Yitzchak. The pasuk there tells us that after that, "Sarah saw that the son of Hagar (Yishmael), the Egyptian, that she had born to Avraham, was mocking. She said to Avraham, 'Drive out this slave-woman and her son, for the son of this slave-woman will not inherit with my son, with Yitzchok.' This thing was very wrong in the eyes of Avraham..." Sarah doesn’t want
