Moby-Dick is Herman Melville’s masterpiece, a purposeful novel that acts both as a documentary of a sea voyage but also a philosophical allusion on life as a whole. Moby-Dick is far beyond its time in reference to its use of allusion within its text. In this novel, Herman Melville frequently uses biblical and mythological allusions. With these strategic allusions, the reader is able to begin to understand the topics of discussion within the book and is also exposed to the wisdom and potential knowledge

However, Haran died and left behind two children (Lot and Milkah). After some time, the Terah, Abraham, Sarah, and Lot started out from Ur so that they could settle in the land of Harran. This is where Abraham received his calling from God and left Harran with his wife and nephew (The New International Version, Genesis 11:26-:32). One of the qualities that

people you love ask you to choose between them? Well this is actually from the Story of Abraham and Hagar. Abraham had a wife named Sarah. Sarah could not give him a child, so she told him to sleep with her maid servant so that she can give Abraham a child for their family. Hagar became pregnant and had Ishmel.

The book of Genesis manifests in the literary form of prose: biblical and historical narrative. Genesis is the first book of the Law and it is a book of beginnings, in more ways than one. It starts out with stories about the creation of the world and humanity (Gen 1-11) as well as the beginning of the particular people of Israel and their ancestors (Gen 12-50). The story of the birth of Ishmael, in Genesis 16, addresses a patriarchal period, one which is inclusive of narratives about rivalry between

In the contexts of their own time periods, both Sarah, in Genesis, and Andromache, in the Iliad, have similar roles in that they are both confined to the duties within the household.

Many biblical stories were passed down to communicate who God is and how finite beings can have faith in something infinite. When biblical stories are taken out of context and interpreted literally, one misses the deeper meaning and purpose of the stories. The story of the Binding of Isaac in Genesis 22 reveals the balance between faith and doubt. The story must be read in context and does not teach that parent should kill their children to send them to Jesus. This literal interpretation contradicts
