Esau said “I am up for your task father” and begin his journey for his father's meal. Isaac's wife the brother’s mother Rebekah felt that her younger son
Abraham takes sympathy on Hagar and does not like the way that Sarah is treating her. The reason for this is because Abraham is not only treating his wife fairly, but also valuing that Hagar is the mother of his son, Ishmael. Once Sarah conceived Isaac, Abraham was less protective of Sarah and Ishmael and sent them out of the house with minimal resources. By the end of the story, it is clear to the reader how important childbearing is for women and how important it is to the spread of Islam and in
The birth of Abraham and Sarah’s son Isaac was nothing short of a miracle, so the fact that God asks Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice in Genesis chapter 22 is quite intriguing. After a period of time since Isaac’s birth, God calls on Abraham and asks him to sacrifice Isaac, his only son, as a burnt offering on Mount Moriah. Early the next morning, Abraham gets up, prepares his donkey, cuts up enough wood for the offering, and heads out with Isaac and two servants. It is a three-day journey to

Genesis 25:19-36:42 – This begins with Isaac and Rebekah struggling to have children. Rebekah is barren until God answers their prayers and she conceives twins. Jacob, the younger brother, tricks Esau into giving him his birthright and later tricks his father Isaac into blessing him instead of Esau with the help of Rebekah. Jacob flees from Esau to his uncle Laban, where he falls in love with Laban’s younger daughter Rachel. However, Jacob is ironically tricked into marrying the older daughter
The worst thing any parent can imagine is losing their child; however, this is the reality that both Hagar and Abraham face in Genesis, as their respective sons come close to death but never reach it. After being banished by Abraham from his camp because of Sarah’s anger, Hagar and Ishmael are forced to wander around the unforgiving desert until they find provisions or run out of water. After the latter happens, Hagar “flung the child under one of the bushes” in order to not have to see him die of
In Genesis 17, when Abraham was ninety-nine years old, God appeared to Abraham and said, “Your long years of waiting is now over, you and your legal wife Sarai will be proud parents of a sons.” As normal to man who is walking toward his coming death the news is humorous that made him laugh.
