1 | Abraham at 134 | Genesis | InGodITrust | 187922 | ||
chach, I guess, the obvious, if he could not father children through his first 99 plus years, then it was obviously a miracle of God that at 100 he could. The fact that he went on to father other children is not as relivant (I suppose). There are a multitude of things God chose not to include in Holy Writ. The story God wanted recorded is Abraham's faith and life. The answer to prayer in fathering Isaac, the lineage of Isaac and history of the Jewish nation. I agree it is also amazing that Abraham continued to father other children but the Biblical significance seemed unimportant to be included in Biblical history. Best answer I have at the moment....

Hi InGodITrust, Warm welcome to the Forum. We have no reason to assume that Abraham's stuff was not working at 99 when it was only about 13 or 14 years earlier when he fathered Ishmael. The miracle, was that Sarah had been barren. Gen 21:1 Then the LORD took note of Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had promised. 2 So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him. God bless. John |
