I don't want beginning readers to get confused: Abram was renamed Abraham, and as such had the sons Ishmael and Isaac. The man had two sons. Interesting observation that the name had changed in between sons (I didn't check), but I am not certain of its significance in relation to the sons. Or is this like a trick question? or should I say trick answer? LOL. --corrective. ©2008. |

Corrective, shalom How about filling out your user profile? It would be very nice if you would. Most of the rest of us have done so. I think God's definite, specific promises and words are quite "significant." Hebrew is a very action-oriented language. (In fact, there are no past or future tenses, it's all present verb related words.) If it wasn't God probably wouldn't bother changing certain peoples names from one thing meaning something specific to something else meaning what he wants that person to portray. Ishmael was born to Abram by Hagar. The promise was made TO Sarai as well, Gen. 17:15-22 to Abram regarding Sarai. (At this time their names are changed, and we see that Abraham wanted The Seed to be Ishmael, and God promised to increase him because he was Abram's son.) But....in Gen. 18:9-15 In Sarah's hearing/presence God once again promises AbraHAM of the birth of Issac. Isaac means laughter, Sarah laughed at the hearing of such news, and God gently chides her for that, then about 9months later she laughed with joy at the birth of this boy. Cheri |
