AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 17:19 But God said, "No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son indeed, and you shall name him Isaac (laughter); and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant and with his descendants after him. |
Bible Question (short): why is God calling Issac, Abrahams only |
Question (full): why in Genesis, God asks Abraham to sacrifice his ONLY son Issac, when Abraham had already a son; Ismail. Even though God did not recognise Issac as his posimised son, Issac was Abraham's first born. Then why is it mentioned ONLY SON in the Genesis. |
